equery depends is unfortunately broken. It does not consider use flag |
| 14 |
dependancies. |

Examples from your list: |
| 17 |
- kdegraphics only depends on imlib if you have the imlib USE flag |
| 18 |
set, which you do not. |
| 19 |
- cups only depends on gnutls if you have the gnutls USE flag set, |
| 20 |
which you do not. |

If "emerge -DNuvp" does not want to merge anything, then the depclean |
| 23 |
list is the list of packages that are not listed in |
| 24 |
/var/lib/portage/world or system, and are also not a dependancy of |
| 25 |
something in world or system. |
