I do know that sys-libs/gpm must be in world if you want a text-console mouse-pointer, because it's a user-selected install. I checked on my system. The following are on my system, but not in world. dev-libs/glib dev-libs/libevent media-libs/libpng (=media-libs/libpng-1.6.16) If you've emerged any package with the "gstreamer" flag, then... media-libs/gst-plugins-base media-libs/gst-plugins-base:0.10 media-libs/gstreamer media-libs/gstreamer:0.10 ...don't belong in world. If you want to clean up world safely, I suggest the following... 1) make a backup of /var/lib/portage/world 2) edit /var/lib/portage/world, by removing the following lines... dev-libs/glib dev-libs/libevent media-libs/libpng media-libs/libpng:1.2 media-libs/libpng:1.5 media-libs/gst-plugins-base media-libs/gst-plugins-base:0.10 media-libs/gstreamer media-libs/gstreamer:0.10 3) run the command "emerge -p --depclean" and post the output back here before doing anything more. -- Walter Dnes I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
