Just to give a little more info here. I sync'ed a couple days ago. I
use eix-sync to do that so that everything is updated, portage and eix.
I don't have anything in layman, heard of it but never used it.

Also, emerge -uvDNp comes out clean. Nothing to upgrade or downgrade.
Revdep-rebuild comes out clean as well.

Still not having that light bulb moment here. :/ Are these packages
that I can unmerge?
