Heh... try my depclean summary (this is from my workstation, but the netbook's summary is similar): Packages installed: 863 Packages in world: 0 Packages in system: 0 Required packages: 863 Number removed: 0 A rather unusual depclean summary for sure, but how? Simple enough. 1) /etc/portage/profile/packages has a whole bunch of -*cat/pkg entries in it, negating everything that would otherwise be in @system, thus the 0 packages in system line. (When I first set that up, I negated everything, then took a look at what a depclean pretend run did, and added back to my sets, see the next point, anything it was trying to remove that I actually needed to keep. There was surprisingly little, as most of my former @system was a specified dependency of something or other.) 2) My world file is empty, because I use the sets support in portage 2.2, and have categorized all my former world-file entries into about two dozen sets such as jed.admin, jed.kde.base.kdebase.apps, jed.net.admin, and jed.net.user, which are in turn listed in my world_sets file. (jed are my initials, easy way to avoid set namespace pollution and tell my custom sets from those in the kde overlay, for instance.) 3) portage-2.2 pulls in the world_sets, but doesn't yet have a line in depclean that reports them[1], and doesn't include them in the world line either, so the depclean summary ends up being rather cryptic, to say the least, the more so due to factor #1 meaning 0 packages in @system, as well. --- [1] I long ago filed a bug suggesting a new world-sets line for depclean, but I expect it'll be resolved/fixed about the time sets support finally gets unmasked to ~arch, the status of which looks about like the tree's git conversion status... in practice, target "bluesky".
