Description Pat Double 2002-11-20 12:59:02 UTC 
The "emerge depclean" command will clean dependancies of ebuilds that are 
merged in, but masked. For example, if I unmasked prelink (assuming it is masked) 
and emerge it, I will get libelf as a dependancy. If I emerge rsync, prelink becomes 
masked again. When I ru "emerge -p depclean", libelf comes up in the list to be 
unmerged. If I unmask prelink again, libelf does not come up as a candidate for 
unmerging. 
 
I think depclean should consider merged packages that are masked as still merged in 
and not treat the dependancies as candidates for unmerging. 
 
Thanks.
