I suppose this ebuild was maybe included in system at the time of installation and later removed. But if it is so, why is this orphaned package not uninstalled whenever I run emerge --depclean?

It's not orphaned, and AFAIK portage-utils was never in @system. But pambase DEPENDs on portage-utils, do you have pambase installed? Portage's default behaviour is to ignore build-time deps for emerges and consider them for --depclean. This makes sense and avoids unnecessary compiles if an update is only required to build something else, not merely to run it. You appear to have hit this exact thing. equery depends portage-utils will tell you the depends, then you can look in each of those ebuilds to see what kind of dependancy it is. -- Alan McKinnnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
