On a freshly installed box when doing emerge -pv world I get the following.

!!! Problems have been detected with your world file
!!! Please run emaint --check world

-------------------------------------------------

This tool is new to me so first thing I assume I should do is go read the
manpage, but none found.

The folowing --help gives me no clue to what this tool is actually 
supposed to fix.

onyx ~ # /usr/sbin/emaint  --help
usage: emaint [options] all | world

options:
  -h, --help   show this help message and exit
  -c, --check  check for problems
  -f, --fix    attempt to fix problems

--------------------------
Please add a manpage for the following util.

--

If I actually run the tool it spits out the stupidest msg ever..

onyx ~ # emaint --check world
Checking world for problems

'media-plugins/xmms-oggre' has no ebuilds available
'media-plugins/xmms-smpeg' has no ebuilds available
'sys-libs/libstdc++-v3' has no ebuilds available

The reason its stupid is cuz those 3 packages are merged from ~arch

Fixed... see bug 108082. 
 
Those three packages merged from ~arch have no ebuilds available. Having them 
in your world file means that portage&#12288;just ignores them. That is a problem.

man page now in main/trunk/man/

the other issues you mention should be in a new bug report :p
