No. It does only say "world" or "system".

Some command outputs appended to clarify the problem.

This problem can be solved in one of the following ways:

  A) Use emaint to clean offending packages from world (if not installed).
  B) Uninstall offending packages (cleans them from world).
  C) Remove offending entries from package.provided.

The best course of action depends on the reason that an offending
package.provided entry exists.

$ emerge -v -t -p -u -D system
