39 Look at it:
40
41 # equery size sqlite
42 * dev-db/sqlite-2.8.16-r4
43 Total files : 48
44 Total size : 2.50 MiB
45 * dev-db/sqlite-3.6.20-r1
46 Total files : 518
47 Total size : 7.49 MiB
48
49 10M. Why are you worried? Pretend it's not there.
50
51 sqlite is SLOTted 0 and 3 (usual reasons for SLOTs)
52
53 There is no package called sqlite3, there are bindings in other languages with
54 that string in the name. sqlite-3 in ebuilds is not a package, it's a version
55 atom, like
56
57 >=dev-db/sqlite-3
58
59 Some stuff uses sqlite for storage. If it works, leave it alone. Just because
60 some parts of KDE <koff><koff> amarok <koff><koff> have issues with it doesn;t
61 mean all of KDE has issues with it
