• Product: Portage Development
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Till Schäfer 2011-06-17 22:26:28 UTC]

when calling emerge --depclean portage wants to remove a lot of needed packages. 

for example: kdebase-meta is referenced by the set @kdebase-4.6 but depclean wants to remove ist.

The extended set configuration, including world_sets and /etc/portage/sets, is not supported in portage-2.1.x. You'll need portage-2.2.x for that.
