Hi xHypnos.
Its a little bit unclear to me how to interpret your question, but I will try.
If you use the -u (--update) option for an already installed package, emerge told you that there is nothing to to, if no newer/higher version is available within your chosen settings.
If you leave out the --update option, emerge reinstalls it, no matter if it's already installed or not.
Hope this answers your question.
Andy.

xHypnos,
You can use -p anytime. Look at the output of emerge ...
| man emerge: | --pretend (-p)
Instead of actually performing the merge, simply display what *would* have been installed if --pretend weren't used.
Using --pretend is strongly recommended before installing an unfamiliar package. In the printout:
N new (not yet installed)
S new SLOT installation (side-by-side versions)
U updating (to another version)
D downgrading (best version seems lower)
r reinstall (forced for some reason, possibly due to slot or sub-slot)
R replacing (remerging same version)
F fetch restricted (must be manually downloaded)
f fetch restricted (already downloaded)
I interactive (requires user input)
B blocked by another package (unresolved conflict)
b blocked by another package (automatically resolved conflict) |
