Somehow my system has gotten into a state where running --depclean complains that dev-lang/perl-5.12.1 is not installed, pulled in by virtual/perl-File-Spec-3.31. I ran emerge -uDN per the instructions, but it did not install any packages. equery depends didn't show anything depending on it, so I tried unmerging perl-File-Spec, but that results in depclean complaining that it isn't installed, and is required by Archive-Zip-1.30. equery depends says that is required by openoffice. emerge -uDN still does not show anything needing installation. Reproducible: Always
Please paste your 'emerge --info', and attach 'emerge --depclean' and 'emerge -pvDtuN @world' output if possible.
Just did another emerge --sync/update world cycle, and the --depclean problem is still with me. It turned out to be surprisingly difficult to capture the output of emerge without getting a lot of control codes. Script of course got them all, so I tried with --color=n which was better but still messy. Then I tried redirecting the output to a file, but despite doing 2>&1 on the emerge --depclean the error message of interest was printed on the terminal, not written to the file. So I had to cut and paste that bit. And emerge *still* wrote some control codes to the file :( Anyway, here's the log: emerge --info Portage 2.2_rc94 (default/linux/x86/10.0, gcc-4.4.4, glibc-2.12.1-r1, 2.6.33-gentoo i686) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.33-gentoo-i686-Intel-R-_Core-TM-2_CPU_6600_@_2.40GHz-with-gentoo-2.0.1 Timestamp of tree: Tue, 12 Oct 2010 17:30:20 +0000 app-shells/bash: 4.1_p9 dev-java/java-config: 2.1.11 dev-lang/python: 2.4.6, 2.5.4-r4, 2.6.6, 2.7, 3.1.2-r4 dev-util/cmake: 2.8.1-r2 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.0.1 sys-apps/openrc: 0.6.3 sys-apps/sandbox: 2.3-r1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.68 sys-devel/automake: 1.9.6-r3, 1.10.3, 1.11.1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.20.1-r1 sys-devel/gcc: 3.3.6-r1, 4.4.4-r2 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.10 sys-devel/make: 3.81-r2 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.35 (sys-kernel/linux-headers) Repositories: gentoo local ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" ACCEPT_LICENSE="* -@EULA" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium-m -msse3 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mno-tls-direct-seg-refs" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/X11/xkb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/eselect/postgresql /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium-m -msse3 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mno-tls-direct-seg-refs" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="assume-digests binpkg-logs buildpkg distlocks fixlafiles fixpackages news parallel-fetch preserve-libs protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unknown-features-warn unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch userpriv" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://portage.bitdance.com/gentoo-portage" USE="X aac alsa amr bitmap-fonts cdparanoia cli cracklib dga directfb divx dri dvd encode fbcon flac gif gmedia iconv idn jpeg logrotate mmx mp3 mpeg ncurses nptl nptlonly nsplugin ogg opengl pdf png python quicktime readline realmedia sdl spell sse ssl theora tiff truetype truetype-fonts typel-fonts udev unicode vim-syntax vorbis win32codecs wmp x86 xorg xv zlib zsh-completion" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1 emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null pcm plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache cgi cgid dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" CAMERAS="canon" COLLECTD_PLUGINS="df interface irq load memory rrdtool swap syslog" ELIBC="glibc" GPSD_PROTOCOLS="ashtech aivdm earthmate evermore fv18 garmin garmintxt gpsclock itrax mtk3301 nmea ntrip navcom oceanserver oldstyle oncore rtcm104v2 rtcm104v3 sirf superstar2 timing tsip tripmate tnt ubx" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" PHP_TARGETS="php-5.2" RUBY_TARGETS="ruby18" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="intel vesa" XTABLES_ADDONS="quota2 psd pknock lscan length2 ipv4options ipset ipp2p iface geoip fuzzy condition tee tarpit sysrq steal rawnat logmark ipmark dhcpmac delude chaos account" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_BUNZIP2_COMMAND, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS emerge --depclean * Always study the list of packages to be cleaned for any obvious * mistakes.

Please try: emerge --update --newuse --deep --with-bdeps=y @world
Portage now suggests --with-bdeps=y here which will fix this problem, closing.
