[gentoo-user] --depclean and python needed by scribus.

[Dale <rdalek1967@gmail.com>]

Hi folks,

Can someone tell me what this means? 

root@smoker / # emerge -p --depclean

 * 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!
>>> Checking for lib consumers...
>>> Assigning files to packages...
 * In order to avoid breakage of link level dependencies, one or more
 * packages will not be removed. This can be solved by rebuilding the
 * packages that pulled them in.
 *
 *   dev-lang/python-2.5.4-r3 pulled in by:
 *     app-office/scribus-1.3.3.11
 *
>>> Adding lib providers to graph...

Calculating dependencies... done!


I have re-compiled scribus about three times now.  I have also ran
python-updater a few times and it just keeps rebuilding scribus and
boost in a endless loop.  What am I missing here?

Thanks.
