Yeah reviewing the output of a --pv --depclean sounds like a good idea. Then you can add anything that's obviously missing to world before a real --depclean. When i depclean i use -av --depclean --exclude gcc --exclude gentoo-sources, since i like keep 2 gcc's around and I look after sources manually. AFAIK missing dependencies are rare as they are quickly identified by the breakage. > Oh well.

I now have; $ wc -l /var/lib/portage/world 63 /var/lib/portage/world and emerge -pe says "Total: 1024 packages"
