14 I don't get this. equery is showing *exactly* the same information as your
15 grep. It's not wrong, it's just that it only shows that gvim *might* depend on
16 gettext, namely when the nls USE flag is set, while "emerge --depclean -pv"
17 will give you a definitive yes/no answer (although automagic dependencies might
18 still render its answer incorrect). However, emerge won't tell you *why*, so
19 strictly speaking you need both for a full answer.
