How to determine if I still need kde-base/kdebase-3.4.3-r2?

Message

This morning, emerge -puDN world returned the following:

emerge -puDN world

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating world dependencies \
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "~kde-base/kdelibs-3.4.3".
(dependency required by "kde-base/kdebase-3.4.3-r2" [installed])



!!! Problem resolving dependencies for kde-base/kde:3.4
!!! Depgraph creation failed.

My first instinct is to emerge -C kde-base/kdebase-3.4.3-r2, since I switched to KDE-3.5.2 a couple months ago, and, consequently, I also have kde-base/kdebase-3.5.2-r2 installed.

What things should I check with regard to kdebase-3.4.3-r2 before I can assume it's safe to uninstall it without breaking something else?

Does anyone have advice about this??

Thanks!

Code: Select all

equery d kde-base/kdebase

- try this. It should return every package depending on kdebase. If that command returns nothing it means that you don't need kdebase.

There are many KDE-3.4.3 remnents!

Is there a way to clean this up?

Thanks!

you could try emerge -P kde (this should prune the older install) you may need to run revdep-rebuild after.

You probably don't need kde-3.4.3 (Do you?). If so you could try emerge -C =kde-3.4.3, and later do emerge -pv --depclean and paste here the results.

I get the following:

Dependencies could not be completely resolved due to
the following required packages not being installed:

~kde-base/kdelibs-3.4.3 required by kde-base/kdebase-3.4.3-r2 kde-base/kdeartwork-3.4.3
x11-apps/xsm required by x11-apps/xinit-1.0.2-r6

Have you forgotten to run `emerge --update --deep world` prior to depclean?

What next?

Thanks!

I guess you should do first emerge -C =kde-base/kdebase-3.4.3-r2 =kde-base/kdeartwork-3.4.3 and leter emerge x11-apps/xsm. As soon as you complete these tasks do emerge -pv --depclean and paste here the results

Sweet! Now I have some output to paste:

Code: Select all

Packages installed:   722

OK... So, presuming it safe to remove all those packages showing an "omitted" newer version, I did just that :

...and emerge -pv --depclean now shows a list like:

Should it be safe to unmerge all of these, as well?? Or is that not such a good idea?

Thanks!

There is a nice section in the Gentoo KDE doc for Unmerging Old Versions.

As for the depclean, it looks like it should be safe to perform. You should check through the list, and if there are any programs that you wish to keep 'emerge --noreplace <package>'
