|
|
I've run depclean - and it's pretty much destroyed me! I know there are lots of warnings.
Anyhow, is there a way to recover from it?
I can still boot and use gnome. Which is good. When I do boot, there are a lot of messages about not being able to calculate dependencies etc, which I would expect after this. But there are also quite a few packages shafted.
I did emerge sync, emerge -up system, emerge -up world but there apparently is nothing to emerge.
So, is there a way to regenerate all the dependencies so I'm fixed again? _________________ [LRU] |

Your emerge -u doesn't work because it won't re-emerge packages that don't need an update (but in your case might miss a dependency).
You should re-emerge the packages that complain about missing deps, they will reinstall the missing deps automatically. _________________ I may not agree with what you say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it. |

Not sure if this would work or not. But would an emerge -u --deep get the dependecies?
This is just a guess, please correct me if I am wrong. |

I tried emerging some packages, but it didn't work.
There are things like xinetd, xdm, netmount, serial, hotplug etc etc.
Anyone with other ideas??
I'll give emerge -u --deep a go. _________________ [LRU] |

I tried emerge --deep and that did not work either.
Nothing I've done has changed a thing and so there are a million errors when I boot up. _________________ [LRU] |

I just looked at my depclean, it is surely deletes a lot (inclusive modutils!) ... I suggest that you run emerge -e --deep world to reemerge all packages, it is also a good opportunity to change the use-flags, if you haven't played with those yet (if you like). |
