Hello there. I'm a bit confused. I have a fresh funtoo installation with Mate-desktop. After emerge -auDN @world Portage recomments to do a --depclean., but when i do, it wants to remove a lot of mate-packages, and some other packages, that seem to me vital. For now, i just cancel the act, because i'm affraid that the system won't boot anymore. Can anyone tell me if it's safe to answer "yes" to the action? A full list of packages, that Portage pulls for deletion, can be found here: http://pastebin.com/kadNWRB8 Thanks in advance.
