1. Add set named mygnome with anyone content, for i.e. "gnome-base/gnome-desktop" 2. Install this set: emerge @mygnome 3. Delete this set 4. Reinstall package: emerge gnome-base/gnome-desktop 5. Execute command and look error: # emerge --depclean -p * Always study the list of packages to be cleaned for any obvious * mistakes. Packages that are part of the world set will always * be kept.

I case you didn't know, removing mygnome from /var/lib/portage/world_sets will make the error go away.

This bug is no longer present. It now prints: >>> These are the packages that would be unmerged: * Unknown set '@deleted_set' in /var/lib/portage/world_sets and keeps working.
