[gentoo-user] Manually removing packages from world problem

Dear list,

I was having problem with plasma, so I decided to change it.

I've removed all packages related from world, changed the profile, erased
use-related files from /etc/portage.

Then I've used "emerge --depclean", that worked as should be.

However, when I tried "emerge -avuDN world" I got a problem: portage tries
to emerge all these world packages I removed before.

What should be happening?

Thank you all,

Check your /var/lib/world file to see if there are any packages or sets
that mught be pulling it. Also check make.conf global USE and package.use

Try adding the -t option to emerge and it will tell you what is pulling
them in.  Odds are, you have KDE installed and that is pulling it in. 
Keep in mind, you should only add packages to world that you actually
use.  Emerge will take care of pulling in the dependencies.  For me, I
used kde-meta.  It pulled in most everything I needed.  Anything that
was missing, I emerged and had it add it to world.  I have several
plasma packages installed but none of them are listed in the world file. 

If the -t doesn't shed any light, post what it shows and maybe it will
help someone else see something, that is there or not there that should
be.

Please have a look at the world_sets file. Chances are that it contains
KDE for you:

kakra@jupiter ~ $ cat /var/lib/portage/world_sets
@kde-applications
@kde-frameworks
@kde-plasma
@steam

Some modern Gentoo guides recommend installing KDE using sets, this is
what you may have ended up with.

BTW: @steam is a custom set I've created for pulling in steam specific
library versions/slot to ensure they stay installed without having them
in my world file explicitly.
