I don't know about this one, someone else can answer this. > 2. It seems that I have 479 (2305 - 1762 - 64 = 479) packages that > are in neither world nor system. > A. What are the names of these packages? > B. How did they get onto my system? They are dependencies of packages in your world file (world includes system). The only packages in world are those you specified on the command line. Example: "emerge pysol" would emerge pysol and it's dependencies, like pysol-sound-server. Only pysol will actually be in the world file. "emerge -p --emptytree world" may show you all the packages, but you'll want to pipe it to a pager, cause it'll be a long list. > 3.
