emerge --depclean -p and make sure everything looks OK. If it does, |
| 15 |
remove the -p option. OK means it is not removing something you need. |

If it mentions removing some version of python, make sure you have ran |
| 17 |
python-updater. There may be others so look carefully. |

Also, I run revdep-rebuild -i afterwards just to make sure. |
