It looks like the problem is that you used some package like kdebase-meta |
| 25 |
and it installed all of the KDE. If so, now you have only kdebase-meta in |
| 26 |
/var/lib/portage/world and next time you upgrade world portage will |
| 27 |
install what you unmerge manually. |
| 28 |
|

I did not test it, but the first thing that comes to mind is to edit the |
| 30 |
world manually: remove ....-meta packages and add packages that are |
| 31 |
actually installed. You can find them in /var/db/pkg/kde-base/ and |
| 32 |
/var/db/pkg/kde-misc. |
