Re: [gentoo-user] How to comletely remove some package?

[Mark Knecht <markknecht@gmail.com>]

Generally speaking, something like:

1) emerge -Cp package
2) emerge -pv --deep --update --newuse world
3) emerge -pv --depclean
4) revdep-rebuild -p

This should get rid of a package and any dependencies that are no longer needed.

NOTE: There have been some discussions about needing to do one or more
of these steps multiple times. Hopefully my answer will spur someone
with knowledge of that to point out if and when that is required.

Cheers,
Mark
