NAME

dep-clean - Gentoo: Shows unrequired packages and missing dependencies.

SYNOPSIS

  dep-clean [-RUNICv]

DESCRIPTION

dep-clean displays extraneous, missing or extra packages. Extra packages are those in which are not a part of the portage tree (/usr/portage). It does NOT modify the system in any way.

OPTIONS

-N, --needed: Display needed packages that are not installed. (red) (default)
-R, --removed: Display installed packages not in portage. (yellow) (default)
-U, --unneeded: Display unneeded packages that are installed. (green) (default)
-I, --interactive: Interactively modify world file before proceeding.
-C, --nocolor: Output without color. Package types will be noted with R, U and N.
-v, --verbose: Be more verbose.
-q, --quiet: Be quiet (display only packages).

NOTES

: If this script is run on a system that is not up-to-date or which hasn't been cleaned (with 'emerge -c') recently, the output may be deceptive.
: If the same package name appears in all three categories, then it is definitely time to update that package and then run 'emerge -c'.
: The -U, -N and -R options may be combined, default is -UNR
