Moreover, you may want to run "emerge -a --depclean", which just might
flush the package(s) with broken links.

I run that manually once in a while, but regularly clean a bunch of other
things with a script I call "cleanup",
-    #!/bin/bash
-    dispatch-conf
-    revdep-rebuild
-    lafilefixer --justfixit
-    perl-cleaner all
-    locale-gen --keep --quiet

You have to be prepared to respond to dispatch-conf, but the others run to
completion by themselves.
