It will tell you that net-tools is part of @system. It is generally discouraged for ebuild-developers to add dependencies to stuff that belongs to @system. Therefore equery does not help you find all dependencies. If you are so eager to remove net-tools, you can try to replace all binaries with symlinks to /bin/busybox. It should contain minimal implementations for most binaries like hostname. Note that this can seriously break your system if the busybox implementation is insufficient= =2E Hope this helps, Florian Philipp --------------enigC868B977FE47DEDD8739F94C Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk5fk6oACgkQqs4uOUlOuU/DAACfQc69Y3yylyvkQDJLZEprFN8C Q7UAnjghd5OiN84Dx8yrMjfPKg3XBQsK =2A82 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigC868B977FE47DEDD8739F94C--
