found some fun info : first, I had two versions of Kile (kde latex editor) installed (2.0.3-r1 and 2.1_beta3). second, the only package needing dvipdfm in my system was media-video/dirac. unsetting the doc useflag, dvipdfm is no longer required for dirac. so, I added > media-video/dirac -doc into /etc/portage/package.use, unmerged both versions of kile, dvipdfm, dvipdfmx to make sure, and then just re-emerged kile (with deps). so, for me, this issue is resolved. should maybe inform dirac maintainer (or upstream) to stop using dvipdfm in favor of dvipdfmx ?
