If I emerge world, I see that I need to reinstall more than a hundred packages, portage itself included at the top. There is no change in use flags or whatsoever. If I accept and proceed with reinstall, and say emerge 100 packages and I interrupt, the next time I'll emerge world, it will demand AGAIN the reinstall of these already reinstalled packages. I use ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64", portage version 2.2_rc14. I also use layman. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge world Actual Results: demand for installation of already unchanged reinstalled packages Expected Results: I am supposed to need to reinstall only changed or updated packages. At least I should not get the same reinstall list, no matter how many times I accept to reinsall them.

Competly invalid. There was a behavior change a while ago, now if you want upgrade world, you need to say so (emerge -u world).
Apparently you have ~100 packages in /var/lib/portage/world. :)
