As you can see there, the package "man-pages-de" is about
to get installed after a "emerge -Duvat world". As you can
see from the "indention", the package is on the "first" level,
meaning that no other package requires man-pages-de.
Why is man-pages-de going to be installed and how do I
make portage *NOT* install those ancient man pages?
Thanks,

Oops! I answered without noticing who was asking. I don't know. If
you're really sure that it's not in your world file and that no packages
depend on it... All I can guess is that something must be broken
somewhere. I suppose I'd try cleaning my world file and doing a
depclean (with the dep script) to get rid of any unnecessary packages.
Could man-pages-de be a dependency of an installed package when some USE
flag is set a certain way? I'm wondering if a change in such a USE flag
since the original package was installed could cause this behavior to occur.
