Wow! Didn't realize it would be that big.

Well, I suppose that is ambiguous.  From what I understand, packages above 
will be installed after and those below would be emerged before.  A 
dependency (not RDEPEND) has to be installed before it's dependent.  
[Example below]


Also, a dependency is intended one more space than it's dependent.  World 
packages are at normal intendation.

E.g. alsa-utils will be installed after dev-util/dialog.

E.g. media-plugins/alsa-jack (a world package) needs meda-libs/alsa-lib 
needs media-sound/alsadriver they are installed in the reverse order.

So, now we know which package needs to be removed from world.  If you need 
help editing your world file, please ask.  If this package is not in your 
world file, and you need more help, please follow-up with that 
information.  If you do want alsa, but want it provided by the kernel 
sources, we may have to twiddle your virtuals, but I still know the 
solution.
