[gentoo-user] --depclean complains that a package is not installed but it is installed.

I run --depclean every once and a while to see if anything is not needed 
anymore.  Sort of do a little house cleaning.  When I run it, it gives 
me this message:

Calculating dependencies... done!
  * Dependencies could not be completely resolved due to
  * the following required packages not being installed:
  *
  *   media-sound/phonon[-aqua] pulled in by:
  *     x11-libs/qt-webkit-4.7.1-r1
  *
  * Have you forgotten to run `emerge --update --newuse --deep @world` prior
  * to depclean? It may be necessary to manually uninstall packages that 
no longer
  * exist in the portage tree since it may not be possible to satisfy their
  * dependencies.  Also, be aware of the --with-bdeps option that is 
documented
  * in `man emerge`.
root@fireball / #

I ran this just before the above:

root@fireball / # emerge -uvDNa world --with-bdeps y

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] y
 >>> Auto-cleaning packages...

 >>> No outdated packages were found on your system.
root@fireball / #

So, nothing needs to be updated but yet --depclean complains about the 
package not being installed.  Here is the kicker:

root@fireball / # emerge -pv media-sound/phonon x11-libs/qt-webkit

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

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R   ] media-sound/phonon-4.4.4  USE="vlc -debug -gstreamer 
-pulseaudio -xine" 0 kB
[ebuild   R   ] x11-libs/qt-webkit-4.7.1-r1  USE="dbus exceptions jit 
kde (-aqua) -debug -pch" 0 kB

root@fireball / #

Yep, it's installed.  Just for good measure, I rebuilt them with -1 and 
it installed them just fine.  Same message as before tho.  Still 
complains that a package is not installed.

Is this a bug or am I missing something, again.  ;-)

Not sure what's going on, but with weird errors it sometimes helped here 
to unmerge the packages first and then running emerge world again.  It's 
as if portage needs to forget something first by unmerging it, and 
re-emerging doesn't fix it.
