When updating my system I noticed that net-misc/networkmanager is displayed twice in one branch. I would expect portage to omit the first "nomerge" entry. $ sudo emerge --ask --verbose --update --deep --tree world [...] [nomerge ] net-misc/networkmanager-0.6.6 [0.6.5.98] USE="gnome -crypt -debug -doc" [ebuild U ] gnome-extra/nm-applet-0.6.6 [0.6.5.98] USE="-debug -doc -libnotify" 764 kB [ebuild U ] net-misc/networkmanager-0.6.6 [0.6.5.98] USE="gnome -crypt -debug -doc" 962 kB [...] In this case networkmanager was emerged before nm-applet. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: $ emerge --info * Overlay eclass overrides eclass from PORTDIR: * * '/usr/portage/local/layman/science/eclass/fortran.eclass' * * It is best to avoid overridding eclasses from PORTDIR because it will * trigger invalidation of cached ebuild metadata that is distributed with * the portage tree. If you must override eclasses from PORTDIR then you * are advised to run `emerge --regen` after each time that you run `emerge * --sync`. Set PORTAGE_ECLASS_WARNING_ENABLE="0" in /etc/make.conf if you * would like to disable this warning.

Then how would you know that nm-applet was pulled in by networkmanager? The current behavior is by design. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 171482 ***
