Probably. None of that belongs in world

You have a lot of clutter and junk in there. When you add dependant libs
to world, you remove portage's ability to do the right thing, and you
then have to do it all yourself. Humans never get this right - witness
your recent woes.

Comments inline, edit the world file directly:

why are you running asterisk on a machine that is obviously a

You can probably remove foomatic, it's a dep on cups-filters

Wee bit behind on kernel versions...

Remove, no such package. Whatever it was, portage now does it internally

XDM? Really?

Remove. The server is a dep for just about everything GUI-related

All these libs should be deps of something else. Maybe not motif.

Note every line you removed from world, then do a full world update then
depclean. Carefully note everything that portage wants to unmerge and
find out why, if they are true deps and you need them then portage will
not remove them. If it's something you truly need then add it back to
world (this should be rare, or not happen at all)

I can see the mistake you are making, you've been doing this over time:

emerge -av <some_lib>

and then it goes in world and never comes out = clutter. What you should
do is set USE as you want it, then emerge only the actual apps you
interact with. Portage will add and remove libs and other deps as
necessary, preventing conflicts.

The world file is something you need to diligently clean up every few
months or so, it's easy to add stuff you shouldn't.

One thought kept coming back to me - I think you should determine
exactly what the purpose of that host is and rip out ancient junk. Like
asterisk - why is it there together with vlc? Think hard about these things.

Back to jpeg. One of your first recent posts was about the conflict
between jpeg and jpeg-turbo. You had nxclient requiring jpeg and
something else requiring jpeg-turbo. These conflict and cannot co-exist.

You are going to have to give up one of those apps, or run them on
separate hosts. No way past this.
