net-print/hplip is the only consumer of net-snmp on my system: equery d net-snmp * These packages depend on net-snmp: net-print/hplip-3.20.6-r1 (net-analyzer/net-snmp) but net-print/hplip is not forced to rebuilt when going for emerge -av net-snmp -1 , and thus the preversed libs feature of portage calls for action: >>> No outdated packages were found on your system. * GNU info directory index is up-to-date. !!! existing preserved libs: >>> package: net-analyzer/net-snmp-5.9-r2 * - /usr/lib64/libnetsnmp.so.35 * - /usr/lib64/libnetsnmp.so.35.0.1 * used by /usr/lib64/libhpmud.so.0.0.6 (net-print/hplip-3.19.12-r1) Use emerge @preserved-rebuild to rebuild packages using these libraries it would be great if the hplip ebuild is updated to make the rebuild automatically, no idea how this magic stuff is done though.
Simply setting net-analyzer/net-snmp:= in the ebuilds should be sufficient.
yeah, that seems to satisfy portage more then enough: emerge -av net-snmp -1 * IMPORTANT: 2 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'. * Use eselect news read to view new items. These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

Thanks! Reading news items is also a low hanging fruit, please do so ;-) It will be fixed. All in due time!
