OK. I'm not sure how I did this before but here we go with version 2.0.
I sync'ed last night, ran emerge -uvDNa world and got this:

r...@smoker / # emerge -uvDNa world

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "~net-libs/ortp-0.7.1".
(dependency required by "kde-base/kopete-3.5.10-r4" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "kde-base/kdenetwork-meta-3.5.10" [installed])
(dependency required by "kde-base/kde-meta-3.5.10" [installed])
(dependency required by "@world" [argument])

r...@smoker / #

As I understand this, kde-meta:3.5 is in world, which it is, kde-meta pulls in kdenetwork-meta which pulls in kopete. It seems that kopete wants to install ortp. I don't need it but this is where we are since I am using kde-meta. This is using the kde-sunset layman thingy. I'm not big on layman stuff but it keeps me a working KDE since KDE 4 is not ready yet.

Anyway, it claims it needs ortp-0.7.1 which according to google exists somewhere but it's not in portage. I get that from here:

r...@smoker / # equery list -p net-libs/ortp
[ Searching for package 'ortp' in 'net-libs' among: ]
* installed packages
* Portage tree (/usr/portage)
[-P-] [  ] net-libs/ortp-0.13.1-r1 (0)
[-P-] [M~] net-libs/ortp-0.15.0 (0)
[-P-] [  ] net-libs/ortp-0.15.0_p1 (0)
[-P-] [M~] net-libs/ortp-0.16.0 (0)
r...@smoker / #

Two options. 1: Convince portage not to install ortp somehow since I don't need it anyway. 2: Figure out where it is so portage can find the package it needs which appears to not be in the tree and may be a seriously old version to boot. I prefer #1 but #2 would be OK.

I'm scared of option #3. I don't want to add any more overlay stuff. It makes portage really slow here It takes several minutes sometimes for it to calculate what is needed for updates and such even where there is very little to update. Let's drift away from that if we can. ;-) Since I am back to my trusty old Seamonkey 1, let's see if this works better. Ideas anyone?

P. S. I like that "Penguin Lover" part up there. I do love my Linux. Windoze is banned here. Windoze is right above hal. lol
