Thanks Neil,
but that is the wrong way wrong.
Why do you think so? Trying to remove ruby will tell you why portage
refuses to do so, and that reason is any installed packages that depend
on it. This differs from using equery, which will tell you every
package that depends on ruby, whether or not it is installed. Using -d
instead of -a saves you from typing "N" just in case it IS willing to
unmerge it.
