Hi,

do you see the diff in here:


emerge -av --depclean

 >>> These are the packages that would be unmerged:

  sys-kernel/gentoo-sources
     selected: 2.6.31-r10
    protected: none
      omitted: 2.6.30-r5 2.6.32-r7

 >>> 'Selected' packages are slated for removal.
 >>> 'Protected' and 'omitted' packages will not be removed.

Would you like to unmerge these packages? [Yes/No] n

Quitting.

Packages installed:   847
Packages in world:    139
Packages in system:   50
Required packages:    846
Number to remove:     1


and


emerge -av --depclean  --with-bdeps n

 >>> These are the packages that would be unmerged:

And the other way round

emerge -Duav world

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

Total: 0 packages, Size of downloads: 0 kB

Nothing to merge; would you like to auto-clean packages? [Yes/No] n

Quitting.



emerge -Duav --with-bdeps y world

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild     U ] dev-perl/yaml-0.71 [0.68] 111 kB
[ebuild     U ] app-arch/cabextract-1.2-r1 [1.2] USE="-extra-tools%" 190 kB
[ebuild     U ] dev-perl/Archive-Zip-1.30 [1.20] 193 kB

[ebuild     U ] virtual/perl-ExtUtils-ParseXS-2.22.03 [2.20.0401] 0 kB

Total: 5 packages (5 upgrades), Size of downloads: 533 kB

Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No] n

Quitting.



This is normal and expected behavior
