I run emerge -up world and it prints a long list of packages I never used for anything. I listed all the files I think could be relevant below...

Quote:
# cat /var/cache/edb/world
net-misc/keychain
net-www/apache
app-admin/gentoolkit
=sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-2.4.20
net-mail/courier-imap
net-mail/pine
net-misc/iputils
net-www/lynx
dev-db/mysql
net-mail/postfix
net-analyzer/traceroute
net-fs/nfs-utils
net-misc/whois
dev-php/mod_php
app-editors/vim
net-dns/bind-tools
net-www/mod_gzip
app-admin/metalog
dev-java/sun-jdk
app-admin/webmin
net-ftp/pure-ftpd
net-www/mod_ssl
net-fs/samba
net-mail/squirrelmail
sys-apps/vcron
sys-apps/pciutils
app-misc/screen


Quote:
# cat /etc/make.profile/make.defaults
USE="x86 apm berkdb crypt encode gdbm gpm gtk
java libg++ libwww ncurses nls
pam python qt qtmt readline slang spell ssl
tcpd xml2 zlib"


Quote:
# cat /etc/make.conf
USE="mysql"


And now trying to merge...

Quote:
# emerge -up world

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

Calculating world dependencies ...done!

Where did X come from, it's not installed.

X is a dependency of mod_php. Since your USE flags do not exclude X it has been pulled in. Try:
Code:
# USE="-X" emerge -pu world
and see if that makes the difference.

I tried that and it doesn't make any difference. I also tried to "freeze" the mod_php version in the world file and that too was fruitless.

What do you want to have happen? Do you want mod_php to be upgraded or not? If all you are trying to do is avoid pulling X in, you should define USE="-arts -kde -gnome -tcltk -motif -X" (tcltk is the one that is biting you here).
