Created attachment 287289 [details] emerge --info perl After changing to USE=-gdbm and doing an emerge --newuse @world, thus rebuilding perl, when I attempt to emerge --depclean, I got the following: * In order to avoid breakage of link level dependencies, one or more * packages will not be removed. This can be solved by rebuilding the * packages that pulled them in. * * sys-libs/gdbm-1.8.3-r4 pulled in by: * dev-lang/perl-5.12.4-r1 needs libgdbm_compat.so.3 * So I rebuilt perl once again, just to be sure, and sure enough, depclean still gives me the same error. So I do it the hard way, emerge -C gdbm, and try building perl again. It works. Thus, perl is auto-magic depending on gdbm if it's installed, despite USE=-gdbm. =:^( Duncan emerge --info perl attached.
