It did not. I executed the two commands shown above (the first reported that no such atom was found in the world file). I ended up with both dev-lang/rust and dev-lang/rust-bin installed. When I subsequently ran "emerge --depclean --ask" it wanted to unmerge dev-lang/rust-bin. I had to manually unmerge dev-lang/rust to get rid of it (which then prevented --depclean from trying to unmerge rust-bin). -- Grant
