Then... I cleaned up my system and checked it with revdep-rebuild with no problems. But, when I tried unmerging xv-3.10a-r3, emerge told me: --- CODE --- root@Arda root # emerge -C xv media-gfx/xv selected: 3.10a-r3 protected: none omitted: none >>> 'Selected' packages are slated for removal. >>> 'Protected' and 'omitted' packages will not be removed. >>> Waiting 5 seconds before starting... >>> (Control-C to abort)... >>> Unmerging in: 5 4 3 2 1 >>> Unmerging media-gfx/xv-3.10a-r3...

What's this? I can unmerge all other packages...

Maybe I unmerged some vital packages... Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Ok, I needed to resque portage: now all goes right. Excuse me.
