Hi,
Earlier today emerge --depclean wouldn't remove db because 3
programs needed it so I rebuilt the 3 programs but it's still
complaining about php. Sometimes I'll just remove the problem package
- like db in this case - and then let an emerge -DuN @world /
revdep-rebuild fix it, but I wanted to be careful with db as it might
be important to portage or eix.
What's the right way to fix this?
If it matters this is a PPC Mac Mini used as a MythTV backend
server. revdep-rebuild -ip says everything is clean and emerge -DuN
@system @world is finished.
Thanks in advance,
Mark

MacMini ~ # emerge -pv php
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
depclean / db & php loop
