I would also suggest a cleanup of the world-file as that command will add all that to the world file as well. Making updates where libraries are replaced impossible to negotiate by portage. The file can be found at: /var/lib/portage/world Generally, only used applications, services and desktop environment packages should be listed. Libraries should only be in there if needed for own projects. -- Joost -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.
