I'm not talking about dependancies, but applications. For example, I emerge an application like xv. emerge -Nav xv with USE flags +gtk, +gnome. The application compiles and reported that its added to the world file. Then I, emerge --depclean --pretend, and see that emerge wants to remove xv. I look in the world file. Not there. I must manually add it. I've had to manually add applications like airsnort, aircrack, xv and others to the world file. Being an inexperienced linux user, I never depclean anymore because I have no idea whether its removing actual unneeded dependancies or applications (or deps of those apps) that I might actually use. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -Nav xv 2. emerge --depclean 3. Actual Results: depclean wants to remove xv. Expected Results: Depclean should not remove xv becasue it should be in the world file.
Does 'emerge -av xv' (without -N flag) add xv entry to the world file?
I'm having trouble reproducing this bug. I unmerged xv, emerged it again with the -N flag and it apprears in the world file. The next time it happens I will make note of it ... btw, there were several things depandant on xv when it was installed dsotm ~ # equery d xv [ Searching for packages depending on xv... ] media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20050226-r5 media-video/avifile-0.7.41.20041001-r1 media-video/mplayer-1.0_pre6-r4 x11-themes/commonbox-styles-extra-0.2-r1 it was installed as a depandancy initially for commonbox-styles-extra, however, when attempting to determine what the commonbox styles depandancies were, i received this error. related perhaps? dsotm ~ # equery g commonbox-styles-extra-0.2-r1 [ Searching for packages matching commonbox-styles-extra-0.2-r1... ] !!!

Pardon me, I meant, there were several things dependant on it when --depclean wanted to remove it, not when it was installed... it was isntalled as a dependancy to commonbox themes.

note: a emerge --depclean AFTER the intial emerge of graveman shows nothing to be removed.

Is this still a problem? This bug seems like Bug 67179, Bug 77669, and Bug 78408.
I have not encountered this problem in a few weeks. I've reinstalled gentoo since and have not had errors regarding missing entries in the world file.

Similar issue, and the user reinstalled so we cannot get any information from the affected system anyhow... *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 67179 ***
