which f*cks up world and is a very bad idea. Really, emmerging every single
package? 'world' is useless for you and cleaning unused deps a nightmare.
Congratulation, you crippled your system.
The easy way to avoid problems are BINPKGs. Use it and a downgrade in case of
problems only takes seconds.
Good catch Volker. I didn't notice that part. He needs to become very
familiar with the -1 option but even that is not good in every case. If
it is a package that needs to be in world, then that option shouldn't be
used either otherwise a --depclean would remove it.
