Edit /var/lib/portage/world and remove any packages you no longer need, as well as any that are only installed as dependencies of others that have been inadvertently added to world. In other words, world should contain only those packages you use, not their dependencies. Now run "emerge -uavDN world" followed by "emerge --depclean -p". Check the list of packages to be removed, if there are any you want to keep , add them to world with "emerge -n package" and repeat the depclean step. Repeat this until you are happy that nothing important will be removed, then run depclean without -p, followed by "emerge -uavDN world" again and "revdep-rebuild -p -i". Review the output then run without "-p -i". -- Neil Bothwick WinErr 020: Error recording error codes - Additional errors will be lost.
