[gentoo-user] How not to install nautilus-cd-burner

[Konstantinos Agouros]

Hi,

is there a way to leave this package for good? If I put in 
/etc/portage/package.mask I get complaints with an emerge -uDp world.
gnome and gnome-media seem to really want it. I don't have a cd-rw in
that box so I don't see why I should install this.

Regards,

Konstantin

Is there a USE flag that is pulling it in?  You may can use the --tree
option to see what is pulling it in too.

Not if you want gnome-media.  It is a hard-dependancy of that package.

I suppose you could *try* making an ebuild in a local overlay that
doesn't have this dependancy, but I have no idea whether it would
actually work or not

You could put it in /etc/portage/profile/package.provided, but whatever
wants it may then break.

Do you have the cdr USE flag set? If it is explicitly turned off (it may
be on by default in your profile) and a package is still trying to pull
this in, it may be worth filing a bug report.

I put -cdr in useflags. But by checking the gnome-media ebuild it does not
like that's honored.

Well, since use flags are for optional dependencies there is not much to 
honour unless the dependency is in fact optional.
