this doesn't really solve any discrepancies in emerge, or why you get different results from looking in different places, but a "close your eyes and push the big red button" approach would be to `emerge --oneshot` everything output from: find /var/db/pkg/ -mindepth 2 -maxdepth 2 | sed 's/\/var\/db\/pkg\///' --oneshot will stop it filling your world file with _everything_!
