I just did my weekly update, which involved only Cfitsio Elogind.
Afterwards, it warned me :

!!! existing preserved libs:
>>> package: sci-libs/cfitsio-4.5.0
* - /usr/lib64/libcfitsio.so.10.4
* - /usr/lib64/libcfitsio.so.10.4.4.1
* used by /usr/lib64/libgwenviewlib.so.4.97.0 (kde-apps/gwenview-24.08.3)
Use emerge @preserved-rebuild to rebuild packages using these libraries

When I checked into this & double-checked via 'emerge -pvt', I got :

These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

'eix gwenview' gives me :

[I] kde-apps/gwenview
Available versions: (6) 24.08.3^t ~24.12.0^t
{X activities debug fits +handbook +mpris raw semantic-desktop share test}
Installed versions: 24.08.3(6)^t(14:37:41 12/15/24)(X activities fits handbook mpris semantic-desktop -debug -raw -share -test)

I tried with 'USE="-activities -fits -mpris", but the list was the same.

Why am I suddenly required to install Xemacs ?

Any ideas are very welcome.

Are you sure you didn't do `emerge emerge -pvt` by mistake? If not on
the command line, maybe coming from somewhere else like an alias/script
or EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS.

That would emerge, well.. app-xemacs/emerge

I tried 'emerge -pv @preserved-rebuild' again & it offered only Gwenview,
so your explanation seems probably true ; thanks lots (smile) !
