What I've done on two of my gentoo systems is, what had been suggested in one of the earlier replies to this thread. I ran emerge -C `grep -i libs /var/lib/portage/world`, followed by emerge @preserved-rebuild. While on another one of my systems I tried emerge --deselect `grep -i libs /var/lib/portage/world`, followed by emerge --depclean. As a result, I no longer have any libs in my world set. I should probably put sys-libs/gpm back into the world set via emerge --noreplace, based on what you said about the package. I should probably look into what does and what doesn't have to go into the world file. Up until recently I assumed that portage would figure that out for me.
