 |
|
Hi,
I can't understand why emerge --depclean wants to remove nano (and maybe other unwanted things; I'm not able to judge since my knowledge isn't so wide). Please check the following:
| Code: | sudo emerge --depclean --ask
* Always study the list of packages to be cleaned for any obvious
* mistakes. Packages that are part of the world set will always
* be kept. They can be manually added to this set with
* `emerge --noreplace <atom>`. Packages that are listed in
* package.provided (see portage(5)) will be removed by
* depclean, even if they are part of the world set.
*
* As a safety measure, depclean will not remove any packages
* unless *all* required dependencies have been resolved. As a
* consequence, it is often necessary to run `emerge --update
* --newuse --deep @world` prior to depclean.
Calculating dependencies... done!

nano has been removed from @system a while ago. If you want to keep it, just add it to world:
| Code: | | emerge --noreplace app-editors/nano |
I don't know what to make of the output "app-editors/nano is part of system", this has not been true for months. Except maybe if you do not have any other editor installed.
I doubt the other packages have to do with nano, just try it after adding nano to world. |

I did emerge --depclean after adding nano to world favourites as you suggested. The problem is that it removed the icon pack in use, so I had to reinstall it. Now I am a bit worried, because if emerging --deplcean had removed an unwanted thing like gnome-icon-theme, it could also have unmerge necessary packages concerning perl (in my case). The question is: why depclean doesn't know important packages that should not be removed? |

tant0c1b0,
Its getting better, a long time ago it removed glibc for me :)
There is a warning about reviewing the package list.

I always use either the pretend "-p" or ask "-a" option for emerging, revdep-rebuild or depclean before allowing it to run willy-nilly.

Moved from Portage & Programming to Duplicate Threads in favor of --depclean wants to remove nano!, which explains the whole rationale and the work-around.
