Well, I recall having problems with --noreplace, too, so I tried this:

marcec marcec # grep ladspa /var/lib/portage/world
media-plugins/vocoder-ladspa
marcec marcec # emerge -n ladspa-sdk
Calculating dependencies... done!
>>> Auto-cleaning packages...

>>> No outdated packages were found on your system.
 * GNU info directory index is up-to-date.
marcec marcec # grep ladspa /var/lib/portage/world
media-plugins/vocoder-ladspa
marcec marcec #                  

I also tried with media-libs/ladspa-sdk (which I believe shouldn't make
a difference). Still nothing.

Now, according to the message during --depclean, it should have been
added to world. Why wasn't it? Are there other criteria portage watches
for with the --noreplace option given?

Is there any (thorough) documentation regarding this? A quick search on
www.gentoo.org and gentoo-wiki.com didn't yield anything.
