Aside from that, I'm not sure I have ever really run "emerge

install things left or right to try out either, so typically
upgrades are all I need to do.
You should still run --depclean as dependencies change and you
could still have plenty of no longer needed ones installed.
Okay - so I ran "emerge --depclean -a" and got the below. I tried
running "emerge world -vuDNa" as specified, but that didn't resolve
it either.
I tried looking in the world file (/var/lib/portage/world) but didn't
find any entries that felt safe to remove.
"Safe" as to what? If something is in the world file that you didn't
explicitly request, then it doesn't belong there. For example, if you
have "x11-libs/qt-gui" in world, you should delete it. The world file
should not contain dependencies, it should only contain the stuff you
emerged directly.
To give an example, if you emerge "media-video/smplayer", then that
one will end up in the world file. But smplayer will also pull-in qt
and mplayer. Those do not go in the world file. When you unmerge
smplayer again, qt and mplayer will not be unmerged unless you run
"emerge --depclean". However, if qt and mplayer end up being in the
world file anyway, it means you made a mistake at some point; like
emerging something that is a dependency but forgot to specify the "-1"
(or "--oneshot") option to emerge.
So if you see something in the world file that you know don't need
directly (and I doubt you need qt directly; KDE for example needs it,
you, as a person, don't) it's safe to remove.
Of course always make a backup first :P
If I edit the world file and I am not sure, I always run -p --depclean.
That should tell you if you are about to make a boo boo. The package you
removed will be cleaned out but so will other things. If it starts to
remove something that you know you want to keep, then you need to figure
out why that entry was there and what can be put in the world file to
keep the things you do want.
The example Nikos used is a good one. If you decide you don't want
smplayer but want to use mplayer, then you would need to add mplayer to
the world file so that it will stay but --depclean will remove smplayer
when you run --depclean.
Nikos is correct on the -1 option tho. That is the same as --oneshot by
the way. That is the biggest reason that something ends up in the world
file that shouldn't be there. I would just about bet that we have all
forgot the -1 option more than once. It doesn't matter how long a
person has used Gentoo, it just happens.
