Re: [gentoo-user] trouble updating texlive

Probably a good idea to quickpkg before unmerging in case things break.
Also check what gets added to /var/lib/portage/world to make sure
dependencies haven't been added when you re-install. You could take a copy
of that file before you start so you can  diff them after, or use -p and
--tree before you re-install so you can identify the dependencies and leave
them out of the install package list
