Howdy all,
Once a month or so, or when told to by a news item, I run emerge with
the --depclean option. I look at the list in case there something there
I want to keep or something that shouldn't be removed, like gcc or something. I ran it a bit ago and got back this:
These are the packages that would be unmerged:

'Selected' packages are slated for removal.
'Protected' and 'omitted' packages will not be removed.
Would you like to unmerge these packages? [Yes/No]
The part that has me concerned is sys-fs/udev. There's another that I'm
not sure about but that one caught my eye right away. I don't recall
seeing anything posted on -dev about switching to something else or udev
no longer being needed and being removed. I'm confused here. Isn't the virtual supposed to prevent this from being removed? Is this a portage change or did I mess something up somewhere?
This is what I show here depending either on the virtual or udev itself.

Anyone have ideas on this? I mess up something? Catch the tree in a
bad state? Something else I'm not aware of? It's not making sense to
me yet. :/
Thanks.

I think I found something but not sure if it is what I think it is. The virtual says it needs one of the following:
sys-apps/systemd-utils[udev]
sys-fs/udev
=sys-fs/eudev-2.1.1
=sys-apps/systemd-217
Since systemd-utils is at the top, I looked to see if it was installed
or not, and it is.
[IP-] [ ] sys-apps/systemd-utils-250.7:0
as is:
sys-fs/udev-250
So, I think it wants to remove udev and use the other. This is what
depends on the systemd package.

At this point, I'm stumped. It looks like something depends on itself
or something. < me thinks >
Does this helps anybody that understands this?
