No: of course, I 'emerge -1' when the pkg is not marked 'W/S' in my pkg.ref. |

Currently, 'world' lists 97 pkgs ; pkg.ref lists 513 pkgs. |

This is clear when a pkg is listed by 'eix-sync' but not 'emerge -Dup world': |
10 |
then I can use 'equery d' to check whether anything depends on it. |
11 |
If I remove a pkg by 'emerge -C', I move it to a "removed" list in pkg.ref |
12 |
with the date I removed it & what it was installed for, |
13 |
just in case something breaks (eg removing Ghostscript breaks printing): |

This way, I should always know exactly what is installed & why: |

if not, it's my own fault for being careless. |

That power over my system a big reason for using Gentoo (smile). |
