That only shows that you have not used any function that requires |
| 8 |
gettext, not that none use it. |

It needs to be installed, now that your update has pulled it back in try |
| 17 |
depclean again. |

equery depends always used to be unreliable when it came to USE |
| 25 |
controlled dependencies. emerge --depclean gives the authoritative answer |
| 26 |
and it considers the portage tree, USE flags and dependencies at the |
| 27 |
time it is run. |

Yes, equery is still getting it wrong, gvim only depends on gettext when |
| 37 |
built with USE=nls. |

Because there is a language setting in your current profile. If this were |
| 48 |
a system default, the new profile would exhibit the same behaviour. If |
| 49 |
Firefox is the only program that is misbehaving, and then only with an |
| 50 |
existing profile, I would not look further afield for blame. |
