depclean wants to remove binutils-libs

Problems with emerge or ebuilds? Have a basic programming question about C, PHP, Perl, BASH or something else?

depclean wants to remove binutils-libs

Hello,

I am setting up a new desktop with gentoo and in the process of the install, I first used the gentoo-kernel-bin. I then compiled a custom kernel and removed the gentoo-kernel-bin. I did an update, followed by depclean. And depclean wants to remove binutils-libs-2.45.1.

I am just worried I still need it. So I wanted to ask, whether it is ok to let depclean remove binutil-libs?

Thank you for any help.

binutils-libs isn't used by many packages. It should be okay to let it be removed.
