[gentoo-user] When emerge -C package doesn't really remove..

I installed kudzu-knoppix some time back (I can't remember why). With the
issues yesterday re: revdep-rebuild, r-r wanted to update kudzu-knoppix.
Well, kudzu-knoppix failed to build because of issues with the linux
headers.

Rather than trying to resolve the problem and since I really didn't need
kudzu-knoppix anymore, I cleared it out using "emerge -C kudzu-knoppix".

A quick check of the world file indicates it was removed.

Today, however, an "emerge --pretend --update --deep world" results in:

butthead ~ # emerge --pretend --update --deep -v world

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating world dependencies ...done!
[ebuild N ] sys-apps/kudzu-knoppix-1.1.36-r2 -livecd -minimal +nls
+python 0 kB

Total size of downloads: 0 kB
butthead ~ #

Obviously something flakey is going on here. It's not in the world file,
there doesn't appear to be any dependencies on it.

butthead ~ # equery depends kudzu-knoppix
[ Searching for packages depending on kudzu-knoppix... ]
butthead ~ # equery depgraph kudzu-knoppix
[ Searching for packages matching kudzu-knoppix... ]
butthead ~ #

So why does it want to re-emerge it and how can I make it stop?

Try "emerge -uDtpv world" and show us the output.
