The difference is that nothing actually depends on xfce-base/xfce4 - the packages that were listed depend on packages that have names that *start with* "xfce-base/xfce4" (such as "xfce-base/xfce4-panel"). The - --depclean output says that you have no packages currently installed that depend directly on "xfce-base/xfce4" - not that you have no packages install that depend on "xfce-base/xfce4-panel", etc. - -- ABCD -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAknkjeYACgkQOypDUo0oQOpXBACg1GQGl5IxClW2/ho7VyszDFHy zL0AnjiqRVsMWGDv6Uf5s4G0pno4L/VG =qLpM -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
