14 Interesting! I seem to have two packages from gnome:
15
16 # emerge --depclean -v -a app-admin/system-config-printer-gnome
17
18 Calculating dependencies... done!
19 app-admin/system-config-printer-gnome-1.4.3 pulled in by:
20 kde-base/print-manager-4.10.5 requires app-admin/system-config-printer-
21 gnome
22
23 # emerge --depclean -v -a gnome-base/gnome-common
24
25 Calculating dependencies... done!
26 gnome-base/gnome-common-3.7.4 pulled in by:
27 dev-python/pygobject-3.8.3 requires gnome-base/gnome-common
28
29 Not sure why they are being pulled in as dependencies ... ?
