qpkg -I will list them, as will ls /var/db/pkg. |

"equery depends package" shows dependencies. |

The safest approach is to remove from /var/lib/portage/world any programs |
| 16 |
you do not want. Then run |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
emerge -uadVN world |
| 19 |
emerge -p depclean |
| 20 |
# check output of above |
| 21 |
emerge depclean |
| 22 |
revdep-rebuild -p |
| 23 |
revdep-rebuild |

Because many topics are too general for that.You question could apply to |
| 30 |
servers, desktop, amd64, ppc et al. A catch all group is necessary. |
| 31 |
Splitting a list generally results in more posts, since the same threads |
| 32 |
end up on more than one list. |
