22 As Peter has noted, you probably updated most of these files manually
23 without supplying the "-1" (or "--oneshot") option. I do know that
24 sys-libs/gpm must be in world if you want a text-console mouse-pointer,
25 because it's a user-selected install. I checked on my system. The
26 following are on my system, but not in world.
27
28 dev-libs/glib
29 dev-libs/libevent
30 media-libs/libpng (=media-libs/libpng-1.6.16)
31
32 If you've emerged any package with the "gstreamer" flag, then...
33
34 media-libs/gst-plugins-base
35 media-libs/gst-plugins-base:0.10
36 media-libs/gstreamer
37 media-libs/gstreamer:0.10
38
39 ...don't belong in world. If you want to clean up world safely, I
40 suggest the following...
41
42 1) make a backup of /var/lib/portage/world
43
44 2) edit /var/lib/portage/world, by removing the following lines...
45
46 dev-libs/glib
47 dev-libs/libevent
48 media-libs/libpng
49 media-libs/libpng:1.2
50 media-libs/libpng:1.5
51 media-libs/gst-plugins-base
52 media-libs/gst-plugins-base:0.10
53 media-libs/gstreamer
54 media-libs/gstreamer:0.10
55
56 3) run the command "emerge -p --depclean" and post the output back here
57 before doing anything more.
