That's because something on your system depends on cvs. This is not a
problem, programs hat need cvs will use cvs, those that want subversion
will use that. Instaling both does no harm.
I just was to get rid of cvs since I'm not using it. How do I find what
depends on it?
This one is resolved. After doing and emerge --search cvs there were
two cvs packages installed: cvs and colorcvs. When I did and emerge -C
cvs and then emerge -uDNp world, cvs was back in the list to get
installed again. After doing an emerge -C colorcvs the cvs package
didn't show up in the emerge -uDNp world list.
2) The ssmtp I removed because it was blocking sendmail. When I try
to emerge sendmail ssmtp is on top of the list and I stll have
blocking. See the --pretend below. The sendmail program doesn't show
up in the /var/lib/portage/world either.
sendmail won;t be in your world file, it is not installed.

I suspect this may be because you have -mailwrapper in USE.
I think you're right about the -mailwrapper. After fixing the USE the
first time sendmail was emerged mailwrapper was installed. Now there's
some SLOT problem with ssmtp. The pretend looks ok, but the emerge
fails: see below. I think I can safely ignore the collision, but don't
know how.
# emerge -p sendmail
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
