I'm running Gentoo as my distribution on my webserver. A few months ago during a routine update, xterm shows up on my list of updates along with a bunch of X libraries including xorg. I have "-X" in my use flags. And if I look at the tree view of the emerge world it doesn't have any thing above it (it's not a dependency on something else I emerged). I don't want xterm on an X-less machine. Could this be a bug in the ebuild? Is there any way to look a little deeper at why this is coming up in my emerge world?

        equery depends x11-term/xterm
        grep x11 /var/lib/portage/world
        esearch -c -F -nc x11 | grep '^..I'


Thanks for showing some shell commands.  Here's the output...

# equery depends x11-term/xterm
[ Searching for packages depending on x11-term/xterm... ]
# grep x11 /var/lib/portage/world
# esearch -c -F -nc x11 | grep '^..I'

This tells me:
- I don't have anything that depends on xterm.
- I don't have anything in my world file related to x11.
- I don't have anything currently installed related to x11.

But xterm is still trying to get installed.  Is this a Gentoo bug?
