When I tried I got:
$ eix -Iu --only-names
app-arch/lzma-utils
dev-libs/libsigc++
media-plugins/gst-plugins-x
media-plugins/gst-plugins-xvideo
sys-apps/hdparm
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources
virtual/perl-Test-Harness
However, when I run emerge -upDv --with-deps y world I get just one package:
# emerge -upDv --with-bdeps y world
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

[ebuild U ] app-arch/lzma-utils-4.32.6 [4.32.5] USE="-nocxx%" 468 kB
Total: 1 package (1 upgrade), Size of downloads: 468 kB
Where's the others gone?
