I run emerge -p --depclean world on occasion and I finally got this one: > >>> These are the packages that would be unmerged: > > sci-libs/fftw > selected: 3.0.1-r2 > protected: none > omitted: none > > >>> 'Selected' packages are slated for removal. > >>> 'Protected' and 'omitted' packages will not be removed. > > Packages installed: 814 > Packages in world: 228 > Packages in system: 56 > Unique package names: 814 > Required packages: 813 > Number to remove: 1 > root@smoker / # So I did a little research, to make sure it was really not used by anything. This is what I got: > root@smoker / # equery depends fftw > [ Searching for packages depending on fftw... ] > media-libs/libsamplerate-0.1.2 > root@smoker / # equery depends libsamplerate > [ Searching for packages depending on libsamplerate... ] > media-sound/audacious-1.1.2-r1 > media-libs/akode-2.0.1 > app-cdr/k3b-0.12.17 > root@smoker / # So it seems libsamplerate needs fftw, and a few things need libsamplerate. So if removing fftw breaks libsamplerate then could that lead to the ones needing libsamplerate breaking to? Sounds like dominoes falling to me. My question is this, is it safe to remove fftw? I am learning here. See how much research I did before coming here? I haven't removed it yet either. Thanks Dale :-) :-) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
