I guess that, too, I had the same problem. Have a look at the output 
of "eix -I www-servers/tomcat" to check that (I assumne everyone here has 
eix installed these days, right?).

I did not knw about glsa-check until recently, and was surprised it showed 
a pile of packages to update. Some were no longer dependencies of things 
I have in world, so my world updates did not update them. And some were 
installed multiple times, I had to unmerge the older ones, as you suggest 
here:

Any idea how this can happen? Aborted emerges or what? But shouldn't 
emerge clean, or auto-clean which happens then emerge -u world has 
nothing to update, do this? How can one find those?
