[gentoo-user] Easy way to unmerge all of KDE?

[gentoo-user] Easy way to unmerge all of KDE?

[Dale]

Hi guys, and Holly,

I have a rig that I need to free up some space on the hard drive.  I 
want to remove KDE completely.  Naturally doing a emerge unmerge kde 
does not get the job done.  What is a easy way to do this?  I did a 
emerge -ep world | grep kde but it is one heck of a list.  It's 6 pages 
long in OOo.

There has to be a easy way.  Be gentle with me now.  I'm learning.  Oh, 
if it is a mile long, give me a map of what it is doing.  Sort of 
explain it's thinking to me a bit.  I do now what the pipe thing is 
though.  That can be neat.  Would be nice if unmerge kde would work 
though. 

Thanks.

Dale

emerge unmerge kde-meta and emerge -a depclean

(Since you have such a long package list I assume you installed via split 
ebuilds, otherwise replace kde-meta with kde).

HTH...

That works but that warning message worried me a bit.  I did a -p 
first.  The -a would have worked to though.

That was to simple.  I figured someone would come along with a command 
from here to Oregon or something.  I live in Mississippi, USA.  It's a 
long ways anyway.  Maybe I should have said from earth to the moon.  LOL

Thanks

If you installed the kde meta-package, then all other kde packages will
be installed as dependencies of that, so you can remove them with

emerge -C kde
emerge -a depclean

You can list all installed kde packages with

qpkg -g kde-base
or 
equery list | grep kde-base

but removing them all is a bad idea, some of them, like kdelibs, may
also be dependencies pf packages that are not part of kde-base.

You could also add -kde to USE and do emerge -uavDN world, to make sure
any packages compiled with optional KDE support (and dependencies) have
it removed.

For equery, you can use:

equery list kde-base/ 

This tells equery to list the installed packages in category kde-base.
The command will run faster as well since it is not processing the
entire list of installed packages.  If you don't want to see the fancy
colored output then do:

equery --quiet list kde-base/ | cat

Aha! Nice one, I tried equery list kde-base but got nothing. It seems the
trailing slash makes all the difference, having the same effect as qpkg's
-g. You'll wean me off qpkg completely before long :)

THAT was cool.  I can read man pages for something I need to know all 
day long and not get it.  I can do it for someone else though and figure 
it out right away.  I did that on my main rig and that / does make a 
huge difference.  It made a VERY long list on my main rig here.  I have 
KDE 3.4 and 3.5 installed still.

Thanks again, Im learning.

emerge -va unmerge $(grep kde /var/lib/portage/world)
emerge -va depclean

I hope that would do the trick.
-a will ask you before doing unmerge.

Alternate way:
cd /var/db/pkg/kde-base
for x in *; do emerge unmerge "=$x" ; done

HTH.

Oh, no. I was too quick - it can break dependencies. Don't do it.

Me didn't. I used the depclean one, after a -p and a good look first. 
O-O LOL I didn't understand that one. It went right over my head, waaaay 
over.
