[gentoo-user] depclean after kde-4.6 upgrade

[Mick]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: Text/Plain, Size: 1400 bytes --]

Having completed the upgrade I noticed that a few packages are being called up 
for removal:

 sys-apps/dmidecode
    selected: 2.10 
   protected: none 
     omitted: none

I can't think of it being a dependency - did I emerge it and forgot about it?


Anyway, this confused me more:

  kde-base/okteta
    selected: 4.4.5 
   protected: none 
     omitted: none

okteta is not my world file.  So something brought it in.  It was not updated 
to v6, instead when I try to update it manually is asking for a second slot 
... is this normal?
=====================================================
# emerge -uaDv okteta

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild  NS   ] kde-base/okteta-4.6.2 [4.4.5] USE="handbook (-aqua) -debug (-
kdeenablefinal) (-kdeprefix)" 5,933 kB
[uninstall    ] kde-base/okteta-4.4.5  USE="handbook (-aqua) -debug (-
kdeenablefinal) (-kdeprefix)" 
[blocks b     ] kde-base/okteta:4.6[-kdeprefix] ("kde-base/okteta:4.6[-
kdeprefix]" is blocking kde-base/okteta-4.4.5)
[blocks b     ] kde-base/okteta:4.4[-kdeprefix] ("kde-base/okteta:4.4[-
kdeprefix]" is blocking kde-base/okteta-4.6.2)

Total: 1 package (1 in new slot, 1 uninstall), Size of downloads: 5,933 kB
Conflict: 2 blocks
=====================================================

Why is this happening?

Similarly:

kde-base/libksane-4.4.5 does not seem to have been updated to kde-
base/libksane-4.6.2 ... as part of update world.

Shouldn't it have been?


Finally,  

kde-base/knetworkconf
    selected: 4.4.5 
   protected: none 
     omitted: none

Is asking to be removed, but there isn't a 4.6 version.  Has it been replaced 
by something else?

It was replaced by knetworkmanager

Not sure it is.

knetworkconf-4.4.5 is part of kde-base family of packages and has no 
networkmanager support or indeed wicd, but knetworkmanager is part of kde-misc 
and has support for both (at least as far as their USE flags advise).

Also, knetworkconf was brought in as part kdeadmin-meta-4.4.5, knetworkmanager 
is not.

Do you care?  Does it matter? :-)

Yes, it's normal.  The slot will be installed, the old slot uninstalled. 
  Btw, okteta is a dep of kdevelop, which is only pulled-in when the 
"okteta" USE flag is enabled.  Maybe that's why you have it installed.

It probably doesn't matter, but I don't know if it does and was curious.

Ah!  Yes, that flag is now not there:

$ euse -i okteta
global use flags (searching: okteta)
************************************************************
no matching entries found

local use flags (searching: okteta)
************************************************************
[-    ] okteta (dev-util/kdevelop):
Enable hex editor plugin

Thanks!

Found what caused this.  My removing of hal which was pulling this in.

If you add --tree to your emerge command you can see what's pulling it
in. I think it might be a dependency of kdevelop.
