Hi,

did you already unmerge gcc-4.1.2?
What is the output of gcc-config -l

when was your last emerge --depclean?
You should always run emerge --depclean -av! so you have a better chance 
to stop any unwanted effects.

Did you see the warning when you run emerge --depclean ?


# emerge --depclean -p

 * Always study the list of packages to be cleaned for any obvious

Try emerge -n =gcc-4.1.2  for example

Put such problematic packages into world, eg

emerge -n gcc:4.1

and a version of gcc in that slot will  always be present till you manually 
remove it.

Great thanks to all of you for immediate help.
"emenrge -n" solved the problem.

By the way "gcc-config -l" shows:
 [1] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6
 [2] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6-hardened
 [3] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6-hardenednopie
 [4] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6-hardenednopiessp
 [5] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6-hardenednossp
 [6] i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.1.2 *
 [7] i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.3.2

Hi,

so it looks like you manually added gcc-3* to your world file but did 
not do so with 4.1.2 until now. Since you have a newer version installed 
(4.3.2) depclean was removing older gcc not in world.
Do you need the old gccs you are keeping? Is there a reason for not 
switching to 4.3.2?
In case you didn't know the gcc-upgrad guide till now:

[gentoo-user] emerge --depclean

Many of these packages are I see on my other systems and I think they are needed like:
acct-group/video 
dev-libs/jansson
dev-perl/Switch
x11-libs/libvdpau

You mentioned this is a remote machine.  Is it running X or not?  If
it's a headless, machine, it doesn't seem unreasonable that emerge would
be removing unused X11 dependencies.

In any case, you could use the `equery depends` tool to determine what,
on your other machines, is depending on these packages, and use that
information to determine whether you accidentally removed something you
intended to install on this machine.

--depclean will only remove dependencies that are not required by
packages in your @world or selected profile.  Removing these packages is
probably not going to break anything; you can always reinstall them
later if you need them.

I'm guessing that would be pulled in by USE +vdpau, so if you've removed it
then done an emerge with -N or -U it won't be required anymore.

And that would be pulled in by
