In preparation for cleaning my world file, I ran emerge -p --depclean world. It listed these packages to be removed:
app-crypt/gpgme app-crypt/opencdk app-text/rman dev-libs/libtasn1 dev-libs/lzo dev-python/pyxml gnome-base/gail net-libs/gnutls net-libs/libsoup perl-core/Storable perl-core/Test-Simple sys-devel/bc virtual/x11 x11-apps/sessreg x11-apps/ttmkfdir x11-apps/xcursorgen x11-apps/xdm x11-apps/xdriinfo x11-base/opengl-update x11-libs/libFS x11-libs/libXTrap x11-libs/libXevie x11-libs/libXprintAppUtil x11-libs/libXprintUtil x11-libs/libXvMC x11-libs/liboldX x11-themes/gentoo-xcursors x11-themes/gnome-themes x11-themes/gtk-engines x11-themes/xcursor-themes Obviously many, if not most of them are needed. Remove virtual/x11?????? I noticed that many of them are dependencies of virtual/x11 so I added that to my world file, re-ran the --depclean and this time got only about half the recommendations. Was adding virtual/x11 to my world file the proper thing to do? Wonder why it wasn't there in the first place?
