Description Stefan Radermacher 2010-09-07 09:38:29 UTC

In previous versions of portage, it was possible to use "emerge --dep" as a shortcut for "emerge --depclean". Now, this commans produces this error:

emerge: error: ambiguous option: --dep (--depclean, --depclean-lib-check?)

However, no option --depclean-lib-check seems to exist, calling portage with this option just brings up the usage.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge --dep -p
2. emerge --depclean-lib-check


Actual Results:  
1. emerge: error: ambiguous option: --dep (--depclean, --depclean-lib-check?)
2. emerge usage displayed

Expected Results:  
1. should run emerge --depclean -p
2. ?

The --depclean-lib-check option exists but it doesn't do anything by itself. See `man emerge`. Note that -c is short for --depclean now.
