equery takes the guesswork out of package manangement:
| [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ equery belongs gdbm.so
| [ Searching for file(s) gdbm.so in *... ]
| dev-lang/python-2.4.3-r4 (/usr/lib64/python2.4/lib-dynload/gdbm.so)
| dev-lang/ruby-1.8.5_p2 (/usr/lib64/ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux/gdbm.so)
your results may differ. Specifically, I don't think it lists
packages that aren't installed -- but I may be wrong. note also that
you can check to see why you need them...

so you can see here how I can see whether I want these files. Finally,
i mention revdep-rebuild.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ revdep-rebuild

you can then do an
| emerge --depclean
and clear out your dependancies. I like to do another revdep rebuild
just to make sure at the end.
