[gentoo-user] dependency miracle - please help

[Helmut Jarausch]

Hi,

again, portage's dependencies caculation makes me wonder.

This time, 
emerge  --update --newuse --deep @system @world

tells me quite a few dependencies like
 *   ~x11-libs/qt-core-4.5.1 pulled in by:
 *     x11-libs/qt-4.5.1

I do have x11-libs/qt-core-4.5.2 and x11-libs/qt-4.5.2 installed.
How can I find out which package is pulling x11-libs/qt-4.5.1 in ?

Many thanks for a hint.
(I have portage-2.2_rc40 installed here)
Helmut.

Usually adding the -t option will tell what is pulling it in.  man
emerge for more info on that option.

emerge --unmerge =x11-libs/qt-4.5.1

The meta package is no longer used.

Thanks, this shows all packages which depend on qt:4.5 (e.g.)
Since I have qt-4.5.2 installed, how can I find out which packages
pulls in version 4.5.1 ?

But how it comes that
emerge --depclean -p

tells me

 * Dependencies could not be completely resolved due to
 * the following required packages not being installed:
 * 
 *   ~x11-libs/qt-core-4.5.1 pulled in by:

 * 
 *   ~x11-libs/qt-dbus-4.5.1 pulled in by:
 *     x11-libs/qt-4.5.1

and many more such lines?

Thanks,
Helmut.

You probably have qt-4.5.1 in world. Run 

emerge -t <whatever>

to see why qt-4.5.1 is being pulled in.

Portage supplies a multitude of tools to help you drive portage. Why have you 
not read the man page and learned how to use them?

Unfortunately, that doesn't help

 emerge --depclean -t -p

 * Always study the list of packages to be cleaned for any obvious
 * mistakes. Packages that are part of the world set will always
 * be kept.  They can be manually added to this set with
 * `emerge --noreplace <atom>`.  Packages that are listed in
 * package.provided (see portage(5)) will be removed by
 * depclean, even if they are part of the world set.
 * 
 * As a safety measure, depclean will not remove any packages
 * unless *all* required dependencies have been resolved.  As a
 * consequence, it is often necessary to run `emerge --update
 * --newuse --deep @system @world` prior to depclean.

Calculating dependencies... done!
 * Dependencies could not be completely resolved due to
 * the following required packages not being installed:
 * 
 *   ~x11-libs/qt-core-4.5.1 pulled in by:

That should work better.

Dude,

you need to read the emerge man page. Seriously.

It's the new set syntax, available in recent 2.2 portages. I believe there is 
some support in recent 2.1 as well

@system consists of the same packages as the old "system"
@world is the world set - the contents of your world file. It's not the same 
as "world" as it excludes "system" whereas "world" implies that system is 
included.
