This looks normal. For example, if you have -ldap in USE, you are unlikely to need perl-ldap. Packages like these are generally only installed as dependencies, they are not "end user" software, if nothing needs them, they may as well be removed. You can run emerge world -uavDN and revdep-rebuild -p after removing them, just to be certain your system is consistent. -- Neil Bothwick Headline: "Explosion At Sperm Bank, Nurses Overcome"
