Look at it:
# equery size sqlite
* dev-db/sqlite-2.8.16-r4
Total files : 48
Total size : 2.50 MiB
* dev-db/sqlite-3.6.20-r1
Total files : 518
Total size : 7.49 MiB
10M. Why are you worried? Pretend it's not there.
sqlite is SLOTted 0 and 3 (usual reasons for SLOTs)
There is no package called sqlite3, there are bindings in other languages with
that string in the name. sqlite-3 in ebuilds is not a package, it's a version
atom, like
>=dev-db/sqlite-3
Some stuff uses sqlite for storage. If it works, leave it alone. Just because
some parts of KDE <koff><koff> amarok <koff><koff> have issues with it doesn;t
mean all of KDE has issues with it
