It is not *currently* installed, you mean. But xmlto remains installed |
| 24 |
as a dependency of the uninstalled package. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Does it (xmlto) appear in the output of an emerge deplclean -p (don't |
| 27 |
forget the -p!!)? |

Apparently nothing, since you don't have any applications installed that |
| 52 |
depend on it to work. |

First of all, a reinstall of Gentoo is very rarely necessary, and |
| 59 |
certainly not for a minor text application being uninstalled, no matter |
| 60 |
what depends on it. Even in a dire emergency, when almost eveyrthing |
| 61 |
seems to be broken, it's rarely *necessary* to reinstall, but it's a |
| 62 |
*choice* one might make to save work or time. But Gentoo can almost |
| 63 |
always be fixed /in situ/, without a full reinstall being needed. |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
Second of all, you have checked everything you can check; apparently you |
| 66 |
don't need this application (nothing you do need depends on it), and |
| 67 |
it's causing you problems with its irrelevant self. |
| 68 |
|
| 69 |
Uninstall it and see what happens. It *should* be all right, but |
| 70 |
sometimes being a Gentoo user requires a leap of faith. |

This further suggests thaxt nothing depends on the application, so |
| 78 |
you're likely safe to just emerge -C it. |
