Description Susie Edgeworth 2003-03-20 21:08:39 UTC

I have some files listed for specific versions in my world file.  Things such as
xchat 8.10 and gkrellm-newsticker.  An example of how they are entered is:

=x11-plugins/gkrellm-newsticker-0.3

Now when I run "dep-clean -UNv" I get the following output:

Retrieving currently merged packages.
 431 currently merged packages.

Retrieving system packages.
 98 packages contained in system.

Preparing world file.

Preparing list of installed world packages.

 7852	ebuilds available.
 159	packages contained in final world file.

List prepared, checking dependencies with emerge -eup
 413 packages contained in final image.

These packages have no other packages depending on them.

Total of 18 unneeded packages.

These packages are depended upon but are not present on the system.
Total of 0 needed packages.

xchat, gkrellm and it's plugins shouldn't be listed as unneeded.  The kde 3.0.5
on the other hand is an applicable one.  The remaining files I'm not sure of. 
However I know several files were listed tho they shouldn't of been.(they were
listed in green btw)

- world file shouldn't contain versions anymore
- AFAIK dep-clean is obsolete (it's definitely not supported anymore)
