Two suggestions.
- man emerge. Look for the clean option
- dict.org. Look for words like "with", "that" and "these"

The duplicates may be needed by something else.
Translation: Summin needz da dups.

Cleans the system by removing packages that will
not effect the functionality of the system. |
There is more I didn't include.

Is it possible that some of the packages you consider duplicates are being kept because they have empty SLOTs? | emerge man page wrote: | | Note that clean does not remove unslotted packages. |
See dis t'read by n0n for details.

try this:
emerge prune package
or
emerge -P package
that should remove the old version.
but make sure the duplicate is not needed! |
