FWIW, while it may be deep in the @system dependency tree, I don't have libnsl installed here, so if it's not in @system directly, it's apparently pulled into @system by USE deps of some sort, via USE flags that aren't required to be on, in at least some reasonably general purpose plasma desktop configurations. (I run with no @system, having long ago negated the entire thing, at the time via individual -pkg entries in /etc/portage/profile/packages, now via a single -* entry, from the inherited profile and listed deps I actually needed in sets pulled in by world_sets. And my global USE starts with -*, adding only the flags I actually want/need, so whatever USE is pulling it in obviously isn't something I wanted or found I needed due to required-deps or something, here.) -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
