4 -n' and the advise shown while executing 'emerge --depclean'.
5
6 emerge --depclean -pv
7 ===snip
8 Also study the list of packages to be cleaned for any
9 obvious mistakes. Packages that are part of the world
10 set will always be kept. They can be manually added
11 to this set with `emerge --noreplace <atom>`.

16 ===quote
17 localhost ~ # grep python /var/lib/portage/world ###(<--No result)
18 localhost ~ # emerge --noreplace dev-lang/python
19 Calculating dependencies ..... ..... ..... ... done!

21
22 >>> No outdated packages were found on your system.
23 * GNU info directory index is up-to-date.
24
25 localhost ~ # grep python /var/lib/portage/world ###(<--Still no result)
26 localhost ~ #

30 Is this the normal behavior of portage or there's something wrong with
31 my installation?
