It's also possible that some slotted packages aren't being remerged. emerge -p prune will tell you all the slotted packages. (btw, emerge depclean should be safe to do, but emerge prune without the -p is a bad idea, emerge clean is the safe way of getting rid of multiple versions of a package that aren't needed). Also, emerge | wc -l will give the wrong number. You should do emerge | grep ebuild | wc -l.

Even on your system, "emerge -De world" would NOT re-install everything that's already installed. You'd miss 47 packages. Question: What 47 packages would be missing and why? And also, how would you re-emerge everything on your system? Alexander Skwar -- This is not the age of pamphleteers. It is the age of the engineers. The spark-gap is mightier than the pen.

Re: [gentoo-user] Rebuild entire system - recompile all installed packages
As I understand it emerge -Dep world will only install all packages that your world packages depend on. This is not the same thing as all the packages on your system. For example if you install gnome, it pulls in say 10 dependencies and you then unmerge it. These 10 dependencies are not in the world file, nor are they dependencies of anything in the world file. This means that emerge -Dep world will not pull it in. Maybe this is the cause of the problem?

Ha, brain-fart today. I see you already tried that. You can try --onlydeps.
