Subject: [gentoo-user] --depclean wants to remove openrc. Yikes!
Date: Wed, 21 Jul 2021 20:06:10 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <YPh+Mk/j3mBFH251@ACM> (raw)
Hello, Gentoo.
As prompted after the recent perl update, I did # emerge --depclean -va.
emerge included openrc (the only version of it on my system) in the
packages it planned to remove. It was kind enough to give me a warning
that this "might" do bad things, but I was somewhat shocked to see it
there at all. I might have accidentally typed 'y' instead of 'n'.
Maybe the program wants revenge at me executing so seldomly. Or
something like that.
But now, my question is how can I trust --depclean even a little bit
after that? Do I have to go through all the package versions, manually
removing the obsolete ones? There are several hundred. :-(
What do I do?
Help!
