What is the solution to this problem? > Hi, The 'world' set contains only things you have installed by hand (ie you typed emerge xorg-server as an example). typing 'emerge -uD world' says 'take the packages in the world file (/var/lib/portage/world) and all of their dependencies and see if any of them can be upgraded'. The problem you are seeing is that some packages are left 'orphaned', they are not in the world file, they are not dependencies of something in the world file, but they are still installed. This is a common problem and there is a new 'all' target in a yet unreleased version of portage. It will hopefully be out soon. Do you understand now? -Alec > Do you understand now?

You can't have it both ways.
