Strange emerge behaviour

recently I wanted to update my system with emerge -uD world. I recognized that many programs are not updatet. for example I get the following output:

try "emerge -uDp world"

this should show the right result
"emerge -u world" just checks "manully" installed packages (/var/lib/portage/world) and there direct (first level) dependencies

you probably have mozilla installed because of some "indirect" dependency

if you check "cat /var/lib/portage/world | grep mozilla" they should not be there

if you look at "emerge -etp world", they should show up at the second (or higher) level of the tree

no, it doesn't!, no mozilla appears.
BTW the same problem is with kdevelop and lyx etc.

i guess mozilla was installed as a dependency. (probably due to the "mozilla" USE-Flag) or you cleaned up your world-file

plz post the output of "emerge -epv world"

if mozilla and kdevelop won't show up they should appear with a "emerge --pretend --depclean"

Otherwise i'm (probably) without anymore ideas
