Yeah
That's the point what I want to say.

Fortunately, I can be understand it while I'm reading this thread.

Package "vigra" does not need on my system. So world doesn't contain that.
And I need to do emerge --depclean to remove packages like "vigra".

Keyworld was dependency. I could realize this If I did --depclean only one
time.

It's a good answers in this thread although question was stupid.
THANKS.
