i played around and typed 'portage --deep -p world', and it told me that 'kportage' and 'quirc' were in my worldfile but not installed. i had a look and so far that was true. well... i don't know anything about quirc, but i merged kportage yesterday and unmerged it today.. so it should have been deleted out of the worldfile i guess. yesterday, after updateing portage to 2.0.46-r12 i run 'regenworld' as suggested (thats possibly where quirc came from, don't know). for testing i merged quirc and unmerged it again, but the worldfile-entry didn't get removed... tried same with joe... hadn't have it on my system, merged it, unmerged... and it was residing in my worldfile afterwards. so i guess portage may have a problem with tidy-up-worldfile-after-unmerging. or... it's a feature, not a bug. but.. i guess it's not.

I know! It's a bit annoying. If we want to remove a program, we don't need to update it. And if we decide to install it again, it gets added to the world file anyway. I don't understand if it's a bug or a feature, but either way, it's just annoying.
