That's a lot of packages to remove in one go. I'd remove a few at a time,
running emerge -utvDN world after each run. As long as nothing not on the
depclean list ries to pull the removed packages back in, remove a few
more. It takes a bit longer, but makes it easier to identify the cause
if a problem occurs. I'd start with the non-library packages.
