The world file contains everything that you installed directly. |

Dependencies of packages you install are not included in world. If you |
| 11 |
installed a package that depended on Apache, Apache would have been |
| 12 |
installed but not added to world. If you subsequently removed the |
| 13 |
original package, or changed your USE flags so that it no longer required |
| 14 |
Apache, then Apache would no longer be a dependency of anything in |
| 15 |
world. In that case, emerge --ask depclean would offer to remove it. |
