Ah, but if it is installed it must have been a dependency somewhere or in 
place as a result of a direct emerge.

Eix and emerge both knew it was installed and that it needed to be updated at 
the point when I was going to emerge eclipse.

So I don't think that answer covers it...

I haven't played with depclean so I'm going to have to look into that.

So far I've taken the "if it's not broke, don't fix it" path in regards to the 
portage subsystem.  Up until this incident I didn't think it was broke.
