emerge --depclean removes the packages net-libs/gnutls and app-crypt/opencdk. If I then do emerge -auDv world, then they are put back. It looks like it is libsoup which depends on these packages, libsoup is a dependency of evolution. I do not know why "emerge --depclean" does not notice that they are needed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -a --depclean 2. emerge -auDv world 3. Actual Results: emerge -a --depclean removed net-libs/gnutls and app-crypt/opencdk emerge -auDv compiled them again. Expected Results: Nothing :-) baula root # emerge info Portage 2.0.51-r3 (default-linux/x86/2004.2, gcc-3.3.5, glibc-2.3.4.20040808-r1, 2.6.10 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.10 i686 Mobile Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.06GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r5 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.5-r1 Binutils: sys-devel/binutils-2.15.92.0.2-r1 Headers: sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.4.19-r1,sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.4.21-r1 Libtools: sys-devel/libtool-1.5.2-r7 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -fprefetch-loop-arrays -falign-functions=4" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.1/share/config /usr/kde/3.2/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/env /usr/kde/3.3/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -fprefetch-loop-arrays -falign-functions=4" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://trumpetti.atm.tut.fi/gentoo/ ftp://trumpetti.atm.tut.fi/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.rhnet.is/pub/gentoo/ ftp://gd.tuwien.ac.at/opsys/linux/gentoo/" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X Xaw3d aalib acpi alsa arts avi berkdb bitmap-fonts cdr crypt cups dga directfb doc dvd emacs encode esd f77 fam flac font-server foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif gpmgtk gtk2 imagemagick imap imlib java jpeg kde libg++ libwww mad maildir mbox mikmodmotif mozilla mpeg mule ncurses nls oggvorbis opengl oss pam pcmcia pdflib perl pngpnp ppds python qt quicktime readline sdl slang speex spell sse ssl svga tcltk tcpdtetex tiff truetype truetype-fonts trusted type1-fonts usb wxwindows x86 xml2 xmms xv zlib"

It is not unexpected that revdep-rebuild will complain after an emerge --depclean, in fact one should always run "emerge --newuse world" before emerge --depclean; and revdep-rebuild afterwards [*]. In your case, orbit was linked with libIDL either because libIDL was installed when orbit was compiled, or because a useflag required it, and that useflag has later been changed. Hopefully, rebuilding orbit will rebuild it without linking to libIDL. If it pulls libIDL back in, then it is definetely the same bug as I reported, but hopefully it does not. Jakob [*] Footnote: I skipped the "emerge --newuse" step recently, and the result was a totally broken system, for coreutils had been built with access control lists (libacl), but the useflag had been changed to not using them. So "emerge --depclean" happily removed libacl, breaking ls, mkdir, mv and a lot of other essential stuff. Normally, one is just supposed to rebuild the broken package, but of course emerge cannot run without mkdir, so recovering was a bit tricky :-)
i had a similar problem here involving net-libs/libsoup, net-libs/gnutls, and app-crypt/opencdk. see this thread: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-302464-highlight-.html
I'm having the same problem on amd64, but all with packages that I installed like this: emerge -av --oneshot "=app-text/openjade-1.3.2-r1" Now emerge depclean always unmerges this package (and 18 others, I'm certain I installed many or even all of them using the above method) and emerge -Du world always merges them again. PS: I suggest changing plattform to all
Since yesterday, I'm having the same problem. Interestingly, there are four packages that would be removed and installed again. net-libs/libsoup net-libs/gnutls app-crypt/opencdk gnome-base/gail I check my system every day so I'm sure this is new to my system. I also always do a revdep-rebuild after the depclean. If I have time I will have a closer look at the ebuilds of all installed packages to find out which packages depend on these.

This is correct behavior.

This is correct behavior. Not if it is a dependency of a program in the world file, as it seems to be in this case, else it shouldn't be re-installed by emerge -Du world.
