This looks normal. For example, if you have -ldap in USE, you are |
| 12 |
unlikely to need perl-ldap. Packages like these are generally only |
| 13 |
installed as dependencies, they are not "end user" software, if nothing |
| 14 |
needs them, they may as well be removed. |

You can run emerge world -uavDN and revdep-rebuild -p after removing |
| 17 |
them, just to be certain your system is consistent. |
