You must have something badly wrong with your @system. kde-meta depends on: RDEPEND=" $(add_kdebase_dep kate) $(add_kdebase_dep kdeadmin-meta) $(add_kdebase_dep kdeartwork-meta) $(add_kdebase_dep kdebase-meta) $(add_kdebase_dep kdeedu-meta) $(add_kdebase_dep kdegames-meta) $(add_kdebase_dep kdegraphics-meta) $(add_kdebase_dep kdemultimedia-meta) $(add_kdebase_dep kdenetwork-meta) $(add_kdebase_dep kdeplasma-addons) $(add_kdebase_dep kdetoys-meta) $(add_kdebase_dep kdeutils-meta) accessibility?

"emerge -Cp" will remove only that one package, it won;t even remove the deps. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
