29 Well - that's the way it is :)

33 Why should they be in world? I prefer to only have in world,
34 what I really want. For example, I don't think that gst-plugins-alsa
35 belongs into world, if I have gst-plugins-meta installed.

43 That's interesting - why did those packages show up?
44 media-plugins/gst-plugins-alsa is a dependency of
45 media-plugins/gst-plugins-meta, and -meta is in world:
46
47 $ grep meta /var/lib/portage/world
48 dev-java/metadata-extractor
49 media-plugins/gst-plugins-meta
50 x11-themes/metacity-themes
51
52 Strange.
53
54 Ah! Multiple versions again. gst-plugins-alsa was there
55 in versions 0.8.12 and 0.10.17.
