One would think that if it is the selected and only one installed, it
wouldn't try to remove it. Isn't this what virtuals are for? Portage
needs one pager from the following list and as long as one is installed,
portage is happy and doesn't try to remove it.
I know, this has been discussed and the devs still let it do this. < sighs >
