Say you have multiple gentoo-sources installed If you remove the folder /usr/src/linux-x.y.z, then the package gentoo-sources-x.y.z will not be uninstalled if you run 'emerge --depclean' So you have to uninstall it manually... Minor issue, but it would be nice to be fixed.
yes it will, what are you actually doing
Well.. it doesn't work.. I just retried.. and this happens on all my machines, laptops and VMs alike, running Gentoo. As you can see below, I have 3 versions of gentoo-sources installed: 4.4.45 4.4.46 4.4.47 but in /usr/src/ I only have linux-4.4.47, I manually removed linux-4.4.45 and 4.4.45 Then, when I run emerge --depclean, it should offer to remove gentoo-sources-4.4.45 & gentoo-sources-4.4.46, but it never happens.

> sys-kernel/gentoo-sources:4.4.45 > sys-kernel/gentoo-sources:4.4.46 Portage is working as expected. When specifically listed in the world file, the slot will not be removed until it is either asked to be or the entry in the world file is removed. Then and only then will depclean activate on said kernels.
hmm it seems I had those specific versions added manually.. that explains why they are not removed by emerge --depclean Let me check my other machines..
You're right.. portage works as expected. I should have checked the world file first, I don't know why I didn't think of that :) thanks for your help!
