 |
|
I ever though, dependencies (i.e. a lib) of a packet from world will be updated by executing 'emerge world -uDN' when a new version is available and not masked for any reason.
Today I noticed that this isn't the case, at least not in my world. Can u pls enlighten me? Thx! |

build dependencies aren't if you don't enable with-bdep (can't remember the switch name, just look at help)
and runtime dependencies won't if the new library cannot be use by the current install program in your portage (a rare, but possible case). |

I thought so too and just noticed that eix is the problem. It doesn't reflect the actual world and it dependencies correctly.
What could be the reason for that?
eix-0.23.3 (updated and synced) |

Maybe it's a typical issue: world doesn't actually mean "all installed packages". It means "packages in /var/lib/portage/world and their dependencies".
I wonder what's the output of "emerge --depclean --ask" on your system... You can add packages to your world file either manually or using emerge --noreplace.

I know, I was just in question as I saw the output from eix -u, which is still wrong.
It actually claims that more than 20 packages (from world and pure deps) haven't been upgraded.
i.e.
| Code: |
seven catfish # eix app-emulation/spice -u
[U] app-emulation/spice
Available versions: 0.8.1 ~0.8.2 ~0.8.2-r1 (~)0.10.0 {+client +gui sasl static static-libs}
Installed versions: 0.8.1(00:56:43 11/17/11)(gui -static-libs) 0.10.0(01:06:50 11/17/11)(client gui sasl -static -static-libs)
Homepage: http://spice-space.org/

[U] app-emulation/spice-protocol

The eix version is use is a testing one. Maybe that's the cause - going to check that now. |

eix uses a different logic than emerge -uDNa world:
| Code: |
-u, --upgrade, --upgrade+, --upgrade-
Only match packages which have at least one slotted version installed which is not the best version within that slot. This means
usually that you should either upgrade or downgrade that package.
However, the test takes also UPGRADE_TO_HIGHEST_SLOT (see below) into account.
If you use --upgrade+ or --upgrade-, then the test acts as if LOCAL_PORTAGE_CONFIG is true or false. Otherwise, this decision is
based upon UPGRADE_LOCAL_MODE.
If you want to see only packages with downgrade recommendations, you might make use of the FORMATSTRING features described below.
|
Could you post the output of "emerge --depclean --pretend" on your system?

edc (my alias for emerge --depclean -av) prints:
Packages installed: 1372
Packages in world: 425
Packages in system: 44
Required packages: 1337
Number to remove: 0
wiping eix's db and downgrading itself to current stable also didn't change anything related to my issue. |
