(If you hope to see Konqueror there, I have emerged it right before. But it was recorded in /var/lib/portage/world before already. So it should definitely be included on a world upgrade.) ------------------------ >>> These are the packages that would be unmerged: sys-kernel/gentoo-sources selected: 2.6.38 protected: none omitted: 2.6.38-r1 sys-apps/dmidecode selected: 2.11 protected: none omitted: none dev-util/chromium-tools selected: 0.1.7 protected: none omitted: none dev-lang/v8 selected: 3.1.8.3 protected: none omitted: none dev-java/ant-core selected: 1.8.1 protected: none omitted: none virtual/perl-PodParser selected: 1.38 protected: none omitted: none dev-lang/vala selected: 0.10.4-r1 protected: none omitted: 0.12.0 dev-perl/Crypt-SSLeay selected: 0.58 protected: none omitted: none net-dns/libidn selected: 1.20 protected: none omitted: none dev-python/pysvn selected: 1.7.5 protected: none omitted: none dev-util/scons selected: 2.0.1 protected: none omitted: none perl-core/PodParser selected: 1.38 protected: none omitted: none dev-java/javatoolkit selected: 0.3.0-r6 protected: none omitted: none dev-python/pycxx selected: 6.2.3-r1 protected: none omitted: none All selected packages: dev-python/pysvn-1.7.5 dev-perl/Crypt-SSLeay-0.58 net-dns/libidn-1.20 dev-lang/v8-3.1.8.3 virtual/perl-PodParser-1.38 sys-apps/dmidecode-2.11 dev-lang/vala-0.10.4-r1 dev-java/ant-core-1.8.1 dev-java/javatoolkit-0.3.0-r6 dev-python/pycxx-6.2.3-r1 sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.38 dev-util/scons-2.0.1 dev-util/chromium-tools-0.1.7 perl-core/PodParser-1.38 >>> 'Selected' packages are slated for removal. >>> 'Protected' and 'omitted' packages will not be removed.

Maybe you should attach that world file.

That would help assuming your problem is still reproducible then.
Hm, unfortunately, I can't downgrade anymore. 4.6.1 appears not to be in Portage anymore, and 4.5.* is masked. I'll close the bug for now as "NEEDINFO" and reopen it as soon as I have something new. (Sorry I had to update Konqueror, because I needed to get my Binhost machine ready for tomorrow.)
