I have no idea if there's any tool out there that will make this easier, but it's simple enough to script it, something like this should work: qlist -I --nocolor | while read pkg; do if [ ! -d "/var/portage/$pkg" ]; then echo "$pkg is not in portage" fi done This will not catch overlays, but it could be easily extended to do so, it's just a generic (and untested) example. It should work I guess. It just dumps the list of installed packages, then tries to find a dir with the same name under your portage directory and if it doesn't exist then the package name is printed. -- Jesús Guerrero

This means - not in world - not linked to by anything - not depended on by anything "not in the tree" is not part of that list. If you have a package in world that is not in the tree anymore, depclean will leave it as is. It will remove ancient mere deps that are somehow still lying around though -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
