6 Same thing with a package called 'seamonkey':
7
8 # emerge -Dpt world
9 These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:
10 Calculating world dependencies... done!
11 [blocks B ] www-client/seamonkey (is blocking www-client/mozilla-1.7.13)
12 [blocks B ] >=sys-apps/shadow-4.0.14-r2 (is blocking
13 sys-apps/pam-login-4.0.14)
14 [blocks B ] sys-apps/pam-login (is blocking sys-apps/shadow-4.0.15-r2)
15 ... etc ...
16
17 # emerge --unmerge seamonkey
18 --- Couldn't find 'seamonkey' to unmerge.
19 >>> No packages selected for removal by unmerge.
20
21 # equery d seamonkey
22 [ Searching for packages depending on seamonkey... ]
23
24 #

26 Nobody wants a seamonkey, and I haven't got one already, but Portage
27 wants to smuggle one in anyway if I tell it to upgrade world.
28
29 Where's the piece that can tell me why Portage wants to do so?
30
31 (Alternatively, what's the manual process to find out?)
