Yeah, that's a drag. Not the way it's supposed to work but clearly it
happens once in awhile.

Typically I don't do emerge -DuN world anymore but rather run emerge
-pvDuN world, pick an app that has some dependencies, emerge that app
to pick up stuff and work my way through the list until I'm down to
just a few. I never emerge everything I see in the list since most are
dependencies themselves and I don't want to add them to my world file.

Good luck,
Mark
