Probably.

When you add dependant libs to world, you remove portage's ability to do the right thing, and you then have to do it all yourself. Humans never get this right - witness your recent woes.

Carefully note everything that portage wants to unmerge and find out why, if they are true deps and you need them then portage will not remove them. If it's something you truly need then add it back to world (this should be rare, or not happen at all) I can see the mistake you are making, you've been doing this over time: emerge -av <some_lib> and then it goes in world and never comes out = clutter. What you should do is set USE as you want it, then emerge only the actual apps you interact with. Portage will add and remove libs and other deps as necessary, preventing conflicts. The world file is something you need to diligently clean up every few months or so, it's easy to add stuff you shouldn't. One thought kept coming back to me - I think you should determine exactly what the purpose of that host is and rip out ancient junk. Like asterisk - why is it there together with vlc? Think hard about these things. Back to jpeg. One of your first recent posts was about the conflict between jpeg and jpeg-turbo. You had nxclient requiring jpeg and something else requiring jpeg-turbo. These conflict and cannot co-exist. You are going to have to give up one of those apps, or run them on separate hosts. No way past this. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
