AFAIK Gentoo does not remove dependancies too with the package. But there is a utility that can tell you which packages are depended upon by the removed package so you can remove each one if you want.
Sounds like a PITA. So what you're saying is that Gentoo still sucks, and Debian still rules?;)
maybe in afew years, iraq can become the mesopotamia of old, a thriving, propsperous center of trade, culture, and science. a model to the arab world.
Funny; that's how my Palestinian friend described Iraq before the sanctions were imposed.
However, now that the war is accomplished, I do hope that the best intentions of the invaders become reality. Peace, democracy, prosperity. I have my doubts, though; occupation is expensive, and it seems just as likely that Americans will tire of it, Iraqis will chafe under it, and when the Americans leave Iraqi society will fragment into warring factions and everything will go to hell.
For me, apt-get really shines when ~removing~ packages, moreso than when installing them. That's still its prime advantage over up2date, last I used up2date.
I've been curious about Gentoo; does portage offer the removal advantages that apt-get does? I.e. when you remove a package, will portage remove all the packages that depend on that package, too, saving you the hassle of removal-dependency-hell?

Here's to hoping that won't happen.

They're better off now, after the crippling sanctions have been lifted?
Huh.
Shocking.
