emerge world doesn't re-emerge everything, only those packages that need |
| 13 |
updating. You want "emerge --emptytree world", which will re-emerge all |
| 14 |
packages in world and all their dependencies, direct and indirect. |

The only packages it won't re-emerge are those listed by "emerge |
| 17 |
--depclean -p", which are probably redundant anyway. These are packages |
| 18 |
that were pulled in as a dependency of a package that has since been |
| 19 |
removed. If you particularly want to keep one of these packages, add it |
| 20 |
to world with "emerge -n packagename". |
