virtual/w3m-0 gets emerged whenever I update my box with an "emerge --update --newuse --changed-use --ask --newrepo -vt --deep --complete-graph=y --changed-deps=y --with-bdeps=y @world", only to be deinstalled afterwards when I run an "emerge --ask -v --depclean". This has happened to me for the last fortnight, at least. The only package in my box depending on virtual/w3m-0 is app-text/xmlto: === $ sudo equery d virtual/w3m * These packages depend on virtual/w3m: app-text/xmlto-0.0.26-r1 (text ? virtual/w3m) $ eix -I xmlto [I] app-text/xmlto Available versions: 0.0.26-r1 ~0.0.28-r1 {latex text} Installed versions: 0.0.26-r1(14:02:49 07/12/17)(latex text) Homepage: https://pagure.io/xmlto Description: script for converting XML and DocBook documents to a variety of output formats ===

Also your output of emerge -vpt app-text/xmlto

Here you are, after sync'ing a few minutes ago: After updating, this: === $ sudo emerge --ask -v --depclean * Always study the list of packages to be cleaned for any obvious * mistakes.

It would be a bug in dependency resolver of Portage. Is this problem still occurring with sys-apps/portage-2.3.36? If yes, attach output of `emerge --info` and relevant installation/deinstallation commands with added --debug option.
