With each emerge world I get
Code:
* Messages for package sys-auth/elogind-252.9:
 *
 * Directory symlink(s) may need protection:
 *
 *      /lib/udev
 *
 * Use the UNINSTALL_IGNORE variable to exempt specific symlinks
 * from the following search (see the make.conf man page).
 *
 * Searching all installed packages for files installed via above symlink(s)...
 *
 * One or more symlinks to directories have been preserved in order to
 * ensure that files installed via these symlinks remain accessible. This
 * indicates that the mentioned symlink(s) may be obsolete remnants of an
 * old install, and it may be appropriate to replace a given symlink with
 * the directory that it points to.
 *
 *      /lib/udev

What action should I take?

Did you miss https://www.gentoo.org/support/news-items/2024-03-22-new-23-profiles.html or did it not complete and left something which should be changed?

I believe I've done this.
Code:
$ eselect profile show
Current /etc/portage/make.profile symlink:
  default/linux/amd64/23.0/split-usr/desktop/plasma

How does the result of ls -l / look?

Mine is:

drwxr-xr-x  63 root root  4096 Jun 22 08:32 etc
drwxr-xr-x   3 root root  4096 Dec  1  2019 home
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root     7 Jan  7 10:29 lib -> usr/lib
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root     9 Jan  7 10:29 lib64 -> usr/lib64
drwxr-xr-x   3 root root  4096 Jun 16 14:28 media
drwxr-xr-x   3 root root  4096 Dec 14  2019 mnt
drwxr-xr-x   8 root root  4096 Apr 28 21:18 opt

dr-xr-xr-x  11 root root     0 Jun 22 08:44 sys
drwxrwxrwt   9 root root 12288 Jun 22 08:39 tmp

Banana's output comes from a merged-usr system, so OP's split-usr system should look different.

OP: what is the output of namei -l /{,usr/}{bin,lib} /lib/udev?

It's not just an eselect command, there's a whole procedure. If you did it you would remember, not just believe. It was just too big to miss it. Did you run the emptytree emerge?

I remember this (long) procedure and ran emptytree as part of it.

This was a while back and my system ran smoothly until recently. At the moment I can't emerge world nor boot into KDE.

OK, maybe continue in your other thread until we fix your emerge world issue.

For the record: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1169561.html

emerge world is fixed. Here's my latest symlink message:
Code:
Messages for package net-misc/networkmanager-1.46.0-r1:
 * One or more symlinks to directories have been preserved in order to
 * ensure that files installed via these symlinks remain accessible. This
 * indicates that the mentioned symlink(s) may be obsolete remnants of an
 * old install, and it may be appropriate to replace a given symlink with
 * the directory that it points to.
 *
 *      /lib/systemd
 *      /lib/udev

Should I change my profile to default/linux/amd64/23.0/desktop/plasma (stable)
to get rid of this error?

I silenced those silly warnings by adding this to "make.conf":

Code:
UNINSTALL_IGNORE="/lib/modules/* /lib/udev /lib/systemd"

Why are these warnings silly? Is there an ebuild bug that is triggering this?
