I just updated gcc from 4.5.4 to 4.6.3, switched compiler

both are still installed:
[IP-] [ ] sys-devel/gcc-4.5.4:4.5
[IP-] [ ] sys-devel/gcc-4.6.3:4.6
If they are in slots, the newer version won't necessarily obsolete the
older version.
You can use "emerge --depclean -p -v gcc:4.5" to view any remaining
dependencies on that slotted version.
You can use "emerge -C gcc:4.5" to remove only that slot's version of
gcc.
Even better:
emerge -av --depclean gcc:4.5
This will unmerge the gcc slot if and only if there is no dependency.
My guess is you have sys-devel/gcc:4.5 in your world file and not just
sys-devel/gcc and that's the reason why depclean won't clean it up.
Well, I have *both* sys-devel/gcc *and* sys-devel/gcc:4.5 in
/var/lib/portage/world, but how did this happen? I have never
put it there! I did not install gcc, I think it came as part
of stage3 (system), so why is it suddenly in my world-file?
The only thing that comes to mind is that you once did something like
`emerge -avu gcc:4.5`. The behavior of -u/--update changed some time ago
so that it now adds packages to world if -1/--oneshot is not specified.
Maybe time to update "Gentoo GCC Upgrade Guide". There is nothing
about this. I just followed it and did only "emerge -u gcc"...
Anyway my problem is now solved. Thanks to all who replied.
