I tried a pretend emerge of khelpcenter. I had to unmask dbus and |

allow a bunch of use flags before it would run. Here's what I ended up |

with... |

USE="accessibility kde dbus qt3support ssl handbook exceptions" emerge -pv khelpcenter |

...which would've downloaded 33 packages totalling 220 megabytes. That |
10 |
looks like it could be the culprit. I suggest cp /var/lib/portage/world |
11 |
to your user directory, and go over it with a fine-tooth comb, and ask |
12 |
yourself why you want each of those packages. If you want to see what |
13 |
each package's dependancies are, execute... |
14 |
|
15 |
emerge -pv --depclean > x.txt |
16 |
|
17 |
...and then open up x.txt with an editor/viewer. Packages listed as |
18 |
pulled in by "@selected" are in world. I have a script which will |
19 |
generate a list of packages that can be unmerged relatively safely. |

You have one heckuva lot of USE flags. I start my USE with "-*" and |
22 |
add stuff as required. Often, I only add it to package.use. |
