Well, kudzu-knoppix failed to build because of issues with the linux
headers.
Rather than trying to resolve the problem and since I really didn't need
kudzu-knoppix anymore, I cleared it out using emerge -C kudzu-knoppix.
A quick check of the world file indicates it was removed.
Today, however, an emerge --pretend --update --deep world results in:
Try emerge -uDtpv world and show us the output.
butthead ~ # emerge -uDtpv world
These are the packages that I would merge, in reverse order:
Calculating world dependencies ...done!
[nomerge ] x11-misc/mkxf86config-0.9 -livecd
[nomerge ] sys-apps/hwsetup-1.0-r2

Hmm, this output makes me think that there apparently are dependencies on
kudzu-knoppix...
Also makes me remember why kudzu-knoppix was installed... When trying to get
X up and running I was using mkxf86config to generate the X config file.
Removing those packages resulted in the removal of the previous need to
install kudzu-knoppix.
Shouldn't equery have identified kudzu-knoppix as a dependency for hwsetup?
How then are dependencies determined by equery?
