emerge depclean on a newly installed system tells me that it will remove sys-apps/modutils. This is obviously wrong. Tracked it down to some dubious code in the depclean portion of emerge. I think it will always happen if there is a system package at the end of alldeps. It may be related to virtuals or not, I didn't track it down further once I had it fixed. Patch will be attched. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. installed 1.4-r4 + some of the usual things I install 2. emerge -p depclean Actual Results: emerge tells me it would like to clean sys-apps/modutils Expected Results: Just remove the things that aren't really needed please.

Created attachment 10970 [details, diff] patch to fix depclean This fixes the problem I saw with depclean and I think it improves the code at the same time. At least it works for me and if it's not the right fix will at least give carpaski something to look at.
nick can you take a look at this? i havn't had a chance to verify...
It's kind of odd to see that code written the way it was... I don't know why I would have used a range like that. Patch is in for >=48_pre3
