Hi all, I synced this morning and then ran --depclean afterwards and it suggested removing quite a few ebuilds allthough I definitely need them for e.g. KDE. I can't figure it out. It seems I'm not the only one experiencing this: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-458560.html This happens on both of my computers (x86). emerge --info Portage 2.1-r1 (default-linux/x86/2006.0, gcc-3.4.6, glibc-2.3.6-r4, 2.6.16.24 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.16.24 i686 AMD Sempron(tm) 2400+ Gentoo Base System version 1.6.15 ccache version 2.3 [disabled] app-admin/eselect-compiler: [Not Present] dev-lang/python: 2.4.3-r1 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: 2.3 dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.13-r3 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.16 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/data/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/Linux/gentoo" LANG="de_DE@euro" LC_ALL="de_DE@euro" LINGUAS="de" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/data/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 3dnow 3dnowext X crypt cups gif gnutls jpeg kde kdeenablefinal logrotate mmx mmxext ncurses nls nptl png qt3 readline sse ssl threads udev zlib elibc_glibc input_devices_mouse input_devices_keyboard kernel_linux linguas_de lirc_devices_serial userland_GNU video_cards_radeon" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS cat /var/lib/portage/world ... media-tv/tvtime app-emulation/wine kde-base/kwalletmanager kde-base/kde-i18n media-sound/kid3 dev-util/kdevelop kde-base/kicker kde-base/kpdf kde-base/konsole kde-base/kview app-cdr/k3b kde-base/kmenuedit kde-base/kdebase-startkde kde-base/konqueror ... cat /etc/portage/package.keywords =sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.16 =sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-2.6.16.20 =app-cdr/k3b-0.12.16 =media-tv/tvtime-1.0.2 =media-gfx/imagemagick-6.2.8.0 =media-sound/kid3-0.7 I asked in the forum -> https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-478803.html and on IRC but nobody could tell so here goes the bug report ;) Anybody knows what wrong?

This seems to be more fallout from bug 133671. Actually, I've experienced this same problem and found that `emerge --noreplace virtual/x11` (adding virtual/x11 to the world set) made depclean behave better.
(In reply to comment #1) > Ups, forgot to mention what --depclean suggest to remove in particular. Here we > go: Your list is much larger than mine. Here are the ones that it wants to remove on mine (unless virtual/x11 is listed in /var/lib/portage/world): media-fonts/font-adobe-utopia-type1 x11-base/xorg-x11 x11-themes/gentoo-xcursors x11-apps/xdriinfo x11-apps/xmodmap app-doc/xorg-docs x11-libs/libXprintUtil media-fonts/font-adobe-100dpi x11-libs/libXprintAppUtil virtual/x11 x11-themes/xcursor-themes x11-apps/mesa-progs x11-apps/xdm x11-apps/xcursorgen x11-libs/liboldX x11-libs/libXcomposite x11-apps/xhost media-fonts/font-bh-type1 I searched through the output of `emerge --pretend --debug depclean` and it seems that these packages are not pulled into the dependency graph because nothing depends on them or they are conditional in away that they are not needed to complete the graph. The virtual/x11 ebuild is initially pulled into the depgraph at install time, but after most of the modular deps are installed the graph turns out to be complete without virtual/x11 so depclean wants to remove it and anything that was pulled in by it alone.
Sebastian, does depclean behave for you if you do `emerge --noreplace virtual/x11` so that it is added to your world set? If not, do you have anything in /etc/portage/profile/package.provided? Anyway, please attach the output of `emerge --pretend --debug depclean`.
Hi Zac, thanks for your time! Depclean works after emerge --noreplace virtual/x11. I'll attach the output you requested. Sebastian
Created attachment 91436 [details] This is the output of `emerge --pretend --debug depclean` without virtual/x11 in world
Created attachment 91437 [details] This is the output of `emerge --pretend --debug depclean` with virtual/x11 in world
I have the same problem, it seems doesn't have any package depend virtual/X11 now I remembe when I emerge KDE long time ago, xorg-x11 was depened and install automatic
Hi, I removed virtual/x11 from world and ran 'emerge --depclean -pv' after syncing today. It didn't suggest to remove anything (which is good). Seems the issue got fixed. Should we close this report? Thanks Sebastian
This seems to be a specific case of bug 136178. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 136178 ***
