If I run "emerge --pretend depclean" it says to me that libbonobo-2 is no longer needed, but if I unmerge it "revdep-rebuild --pretend" says that gnome-vfs-2 is broken. There is no way to re-emerge gnome-vfs-2 without emerging also libbonobo-2. I think that >=gnome-base/libbonobo-2 should be moved from RDEPEND to DEPEND. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Now thats strange, because: > grep libbonobo usr/portage/gnome-base/gnome-vfs/*ebuild gnome-vfs-2.6.1.1.ebuild: >=gnome-base/libbonobo-2 gnome-vfs-2.8.1-r2.ebuild: >=gnome-base/libbonobo-2 gnome-vfs-2.8.3-r1.ebuild: >=gnome-base/libbonobo-2 gnome-vfs-2.8.4.ebuild: >=gnome-base/libbonobo-2 gnome-vfs-2.10.0.ebuild: >=gnome-base/libbonobo-2 so its there allright.
is it a depclean bug?
I have inestigated a little more: gnome-vfs is installed as a dependence of some other package and is not present in my /var/lib/portage/world. If I add it to world file (but I don't want to add it) all works well. ----------------------------------------------------- sargas root # grep gnome-vfs /var/lib/portage/world sargas root # emerge --pretend depclean *** WARNING *** : DEPCLEAN CAN SERIOUSLY IMPAIR YOUR SYSTEM.

yes, you see those warnings.. tried to read them ?
sure, but: 1) there is no USE flag that modifies the dep on libbonobo 2) emerge -p -D -u -N world gives no result (I sync/update my system every day) 3) I don't add gnome-vfs to world file because if I unmerge the package that depends on it I want that it is no more considered a required package
