USe Ed Catmur's dep script - http://www.catmur.co.uk/my-bin/dep - to figure out reverse dependencies.

| Code: | | emerge -C kde && emerge -av depclean |
But: be careful with depclean. It's usually a good idea to do 'emerge -uD --newuse world' if you're using portage-2.0.51 beforehand. In particular, make sure that coreutils hasn't been compiled with USE=acl. Alternatively, use 'dep -s' instead of emerge depclean-- it's probably safer (get the script from moocha's link).
Oh, and moocha: reverse dependencies aren't the problem here; it's unused forward deps, which is what depclean is for. |

or a quick hack:
| Code: |
for p in /var/db/pkg/kde-base/*; do echo $p|sed -e 's#.*/#=#'|xargs emerge -C; done
|
or (if you want to confirm each unmerge)
| Code: |
for p in /var/db/pkg/kde-base/*; do echo $p|sed -e 's#.*/#=#'|xargs emerge -aC; done
|
Regards,
Rav

| Quick hacks like that are completely unnecessary when you could just use depclean or 'dep -s'. They don't do anything that the scripts won't do simpler, quicker, and safer. |

emerge depclean is broken. Use the script I mentioned above.

You just have to trust us. 
The main points are that it does dependencies based on USE flags as they are now, and not as they were when the package was merged, and that it isn't SLOT-aware. |

Well I see it's borked, as it tries to unmerge
dhcpcd on my box and some other standalone apps.
So, I just thought there would be a bug report or a note for reference. |

I don't think it is that broken. Have you updated your /etc/make.profile to 2004.3 recently? dhcpcd and slocate are not longer in the system profile and therefore will be unmerged by depclean. Just add the package to your world file if you need it.
My experience with depclean is quite good. But I do not change USE flags so often and I have my world file in a good shape.
You must take care with the sys-apps packages (fileutils, sh-utils, textutils, coreutils) and the acl use flag depending on your installation. And if any libraries are removed by depclean you can check your system with revdep-rebuild.
Regards,
Christian. |

Thank you for this thread. Just wanted to pass along my apreciation for the input given. I just came back to Gentoo after about a year off, and was wondering why depclean stated that certain things are removable. The "dep -s" script worked very well and I like it, thanks for that as well.
One thing, if depclean is really broken, someone might want to update:
Gentoo Handbook - 1.c. Maintaining Software - Stub Packages
to reflect that if you have chaned use vars lately, depclean may not be the best idea.
"emerge depclean" is also suggested in:
Gentoo Handbook - 2.b. Using USE-flags - Adapting your Entire System to New USE Flags
and this was what I was following to update my system with a few new use vars.
I am unsure as to who maintains these documents, but thought that some people in this thread might know.
Thanks  |

Hello all,
I would like to use that script also, but the link that was given doesn't work for me. Is there anywhere else where I could find the script, or can anybody forward it to me? Thanks a lot,

this link is broken... does anyone else have this link? I have kde3.3 and kde3.4 on the system. I'd like to get rid of kde 3.3 now...how does one do that? The whole --depclean has not removed kde3.3 at all. any ideas? |

(I can't vouch for its effectiveness, but I assume this is what you're looking for.) |

| Is any of this still necessary to remove KDE fully? |

yes, and the dep script is in portage now. app-portage/udept
if dep or --depclean wants to unmerge anything you want to keep, just use emerge --oneshot to add the package to the world file. |

Um... no.
--oneshot does exactly the opposite - emerges something without adding it to the world file, and then dep will want to clean it away.
but a normal emerge should do it, or an edit of the world file directly to save yourself unneeded reemerges. |
