kde-i18n is not in your world and is not a direct dependency of anything |
| 10 |
in world, and nothing in your world specifically requires |
| 11 |
kde-i18n-3.5.9. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
emerge -avuND world updates world and it's deep dependencies, not |
| 14 |
everything on the entire system regardless. You want to put kde-i18n in |
| 15 |
world (emerge -n) to get what you want. |

That does give you a cluttered world file, but them's the breaks |
| 18 |
|

The other option is to use the kde*meta ebuilds, which do directly |
| 20 |
depend on the sub-ordinate packages. This is what I do and I don't get |
| 21 |
the effect you observed. |
