I see nothing at all to be emerged... ==================================================================== [d531][waltdnes][~] emerge -pv --update --changed-use --with-bdeps=y world These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! Total: 0 packages, Size of downloads: 0 kB ==================================================================== I've written an "autodepclean" script that I run to guide me through cleaning up orphaned dependancies. Think of it as a "sane depclean". After each use, I run revdep-rebuild to ensure that nothing is broken.
