emerge -upD world

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating world dependencies ...done!
[ebuild  N    ] x11-base/opengl-update-1.5
[ebuild  N    ] sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.4.21
[ebuild  N    ] x11-misc/ttmkfdir-3.0.9
[ebuild  N    ] media-libs/fontconfig-2.2.1
[ebuild  N    ] app-arch/cabextract-0.6
[ebuild  N    ] x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r3
[ebuild     U ] dev-lang/tcl-8.4.4 [8.4.3]

I do have etcat, but etcat -d xfree lists all the packages that depend on 
xfree, not only the installed packages....
