[gentoo-dev] where does world update find gnome dependencies with no gnome installed in my gentoo?

[mikepolniak]

With my USE=<no gnome> while building gentoo i do not have any gnome installed.
I also made sure to not emerge anything with gnome -dependencies.

Today an  emerge --pretend --world update now wants to add  gnome-base/ORBit 
and gnome-libs:

I checked all the ebuilds in the above list and could not find any gnome depends
so i ran #emerge --pretend   for each pkg in the list (except the 2 gnome)
and  _no_ gnome is needed to build all the above individually.

So i can still keep gnome out by doing all the emerges individually, but the question is
where does the emerge --world update find the gnome dependency?

I would like to let to do world updates with one emerge.

I'm guessing that you *do* have a /var/db/pkg/gnome-base/gnome-libs*
entry, possibly an old one.  Look and see.  You can also do a:

cd /var/db/pkg
grep -r gnome-base/gnome-libs * 

...to see what packaage caused it to be installed.

Best Regards,

Well grep  -r gnome-base/gnome-libs  * shows nothing in /var/db/pkg. 

If i grep -r gnome/base * then  xmms and xchat show:
RDEPEND:gnome? ( >=gnome-base/gnome-core-1.4.0.4-r1 )
ebuild: gnome?  ( >=gnome-base/gnome-core-1.4.0.4-r1 

but if gnome is not present in USE= ... then i assume gnome should
not be a dependency.

Which is the case if i emerge all the ebuilds in the list individually,
because then  there are _no_ gnome dependencies.

However, when building gqview which has a dependency on gdk-pixbuf 
 i did remove a Depend  >=gnome-base/gnome-libs-1.4.1.2-r1 from
the ebuild of gdk-pixbuf so that i could have gqview without gnome
(neither gqview or gdk-pixbuf needs gnome)

So then in my /var/db/pkg/media-libs/gdk-pixbuf i have:
 DEPEND=">=x11-libs/gtk+-1.2.10-r4
        >=gnome-base/gnome-libs-1.4.1.2-r1"  <-----i removed this

And my /var/db/pkg/media-gfx/gqview has the unchanged
DEPEND="virtual/glibc
	media-libs/libpng
	>=media-libs/gdk-pixbuf-0.11.0-r1
	>=x11-libs/gtk+-1.2.10-r4
	nls? ( sys-devel/gettext )"

But again this means that a gnome depends is _not_  in  my /var/db/pkg 
although it is in my original /usr/portage/media-libs/gdk-pixbuf. 

Could this be causing  --world update to find a gnome depends?
