61 Gentoo's world only contains packages you have installed manually (emerge
62 package). and without -1 option. Would does not contains packages that have
63 been installed as dependencies to other packages.
64 You could view /var/lib/portage/world to see what it contains.
65
66 If you really need vigra, it is a good idea to add it to world file: emerge
67 --noreplace vigra
68 Howewer, I don't recommend add any dependencies which you are no using
69 directly to world. It would make --depclean useless.
