[gentoo-user] Do I need dev-libs/libmimedir?

Hi All,

Not sure if I should trust qdepends or equery:

# qdepends dev-libs/libmimedir 
dev-libs/libmimedir-0.4: sys-devel/flex sys-devel/bison 
=sys-devel/automake-1.10* >=sys-devel/autoconf-2.61 sys-devel/libtool

# equery depends dev-libs/libmimedir
[ Searching for packages depending on dev-libs/libmimedir... ]

What would you advise?

I don't use qdepends, but after a quick glimpse on its man page, you
probably have to use the -Q switch to get it to print the same
dependencies as equery depends does.

Both, as the commands you ran do entirely different things.

qdepends shows what a package depends on.
equery depends shows what depends on a package.

Rather unreliably, since it does not correctly handle USE flags.

emerge --depclean -pv dev-libs/libmimedir is better.

s/what depends/what could depend/

Yes, you are correct. That indeed is closer to reality
