Ahh, now that I didn't know. > Examples from your list: > - kdegraphics only depends on imlib if you have the imlib USE flag > set, which you do not. gnome-libs does directly depend on imlib though. > - cups only depends on gnutls if you have the gnutls USE flag set, > which you do not. That one I saw, and it did add to the confusion. libsoup does depend on gnutls, and gtkhtml depends on libsoup, and dvdrip depends on a version of gtkhtml that depends on libsoup, and dvdrip is in my world file. minimac ~ # emerge --unmerge gnutls [...] minimac ~ # emerge curl net-libs/libsoup gnome-base/gnome-vfs net-misc/neon net-misc/curl net-print/cups -pvt These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order: Calculating dependencies... done!

Been there so many times. I've worked my own way over the dependencies of these packages, and they aren't in world or system, but *are* dependencies of installed world listed packages.
