Hi,

I'm not sure if this is a bug or expected behaviour, but if I try to update world this happens:

Code:
# emerge -pvuD world

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating world dependencies... done!

Total: 0 packages, Size of downloads: 0 kB


i.e nothing. I interpret this as "this machine is already up-to-date, no need to emerge anything"

But this command shows something else:
Code:

 # emerge -pveDt mysql

These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[nomerge      ] dev-db/mysql-5.0.60-r1  USE="berkdb latin1 perl ssl -big-tables -cluster -debug -embedded -extraengine -max-idx-128 -minimal (-selinux) -static"
[ebuild   R   ]  dev-perl/DBD-mysql-4.00.5  0 kB
[ebuild   R   ]   dev-db/mysql-5.0.60-r1  USE="berkdb latin1 perl ssl -big-tables -cluster -debug -embedded -extraengine -max-idx-128 -minimal (-selinux) -static" 0 kB
[nomerge      ] dev-perl/DBD-mysql-4.00.5
[nomerge      ]  dev-perl/DBI-1.601
>>> cut <<<
[nomerge      ] dev-db/mysql-5.0.60-r1  USE="berkdb latin1 perl ssl -big-tables -cluster -debug -embedded -extraengine -max-idx-128 -minimal (-selinux) -static"
[ebuild     U ]  sys-apps/ed-1.0 [0.9] 67 kB
[nomerge      ] sys-apps/man-pages-posix-2003a
[ebuild   R   ]  sys-apps/man-1.6f-r2  USE="nls" 0 kB
[ebuild   R   ]   sys-apps/groff-1.19.2-r1  USE="-X -cjk" 0 kB
... continues ...


Look at sys-apps/ed - is is not updated?!

This command shows nothing either:
Code:

# emerge -pvuD mysql

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

Total: 0 packages, Size of downloads: 0 kB


So, is this wrong? Or is this the expected result? I'd like to have installed packages in the latest stable version available :)

Btw, I'm on x86 (stable)

Well that did the trick! :) As usual it's me who should have read the manual better... No bug at least - that's good!

I'll just have to change my update routine and this extra option to emerge (or to EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS).

Thank you! :)

To get this all time add this to /etc/make.conf
Quote:
EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--with-bdeps y"
