[gentoo-user] 'emerge --depclean' continuously drops dev-lang/ekopath

[Stefan Hübner]

Hi,

Everytime 'emerge --depclean' drops dev-lang/ekopath it is reinstalled
on the next world update.

I guess dev-lang/ekopath is pulled in by dev-lang/R in my case (I do not
USE fortran). ekopath provides virtual/fortran which in turn is required
by R.

$ equery depgraph virtual/fortran

So, my question is: why does 'emerge --depclean' suggest to drop it?

I don't know, but you should probably enable the "fortran" USE flag of 
GCC and don't use ekopath.  The virtual also picks GCC first and only 
falls back to ekopath if you don't USE fortran on GCC.

I think this is a problem with portage, picking ekopath without telling 
the user anything.

Are you using --with-bdeps=y?

On occasions, yes. But not in this case.
