"emerge --prune --pretend world" will tell you all packages that have more than one version installed (ie. slotted). As for finding out whether a particular version of a slotted package is still needed or not, well, you could do: emerge --prune <pkg> emerge -Dv world revdep-rebuild But the above is a bit dangerous, and could break your system. Be careful. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
