Is there a way to remove a package with all packages that depend on it?

wanne32,
| Code: | | emerge -cva <package> |
will refuse to remove <package> if something depends on it.
That's always good to know, --unmerge will rip out <package> regardless.
With <package> gone, as freke says, --depclean will remove any dependencies that were unique to <package>.

@NeddySeagoon: Thanks!
@Josef.95: Won't work since there are packages that still depend it. |
