When I said "emerge -c doesn't clean it" I meant "emerge -c" (without arguments). I know how to unmerge a package, which in this particular case I should have done years ago, but didn't, and forgot about it. Jorge

This would seem to contradict the man page. From man emerge --depclean, -c Cleans the system by removing packages that are not associated with explicitly merged packages. Depclean works by creating the full dependency tree from the @world set, then comparing it to installed packages. Packages installed, but not part of the dependency tree, will be uninstalled by depclean. It is a little ambiguous in that does the dependency tree from the world set include the world set itself? > How would emerge -c > decide which packages in the world file were unwanted?

(grep /var/lib/bin /etc/conf.d/* > returns nothing) Do you have app-admin/xstow installed? This seems to be the (only) package which adds /var/lib/bin to the PATH, see [1]. At least, I was able to grep -F var/lib/bin pattern only in this package in ::gentoo overlay.

[gentoo-user] bad $PATH
I have /var/lib/bin in my $PATH (both as root and as normal user) That directory does not exist. Should it exist!? What could be setting this? (grep /var/lib/bin /etc/conf.d/* returns nothing) Anyone with the same problem/weirdness? Thanks Jorge Almeida
