11 A set is nothing more than a list of packages. You can even think of it as
12 putting the entire set in world, with the additional feature of portage
13 knowing what is in a set (so you cna merge and unmerge it with one command.

15 Remove the offending lines from /var/lib/portage/world_sets, then merge the
16 -meta packages you want, finally --depclean to take away those you don't want.
