I rebuild my laptop's Gentoo ~x86 to ~x86-64. To make the initial emerge more hands-off, I reused the old world file. Several weeks later, I still get some packages which do not emerge with my daily update regime of emerge world -Du --newuse -pv.

For example, today:
Code:
# emerge -e world -p | grep ' U '
[ebuild     U ] perl-core/IO-Zlib-1.10 [1.09]
[ebuild     U ] virtual/perl-IO-Zlib-1.10 [1.09]
[ebuild     U ] perl-core/ExtUtils-CBuilder-0.26.03 [0.26.02]
[ebuild     U ] virtual/perl-ExtUtils-CBuilder-0.26.03 [0.26.02]
[ebuild     U ] perl-core/ExtUtils-ParseXS-2.20-r1 [2.20]
[ebuild     U ] app-text/docbook-xsl-stylesheets-1.75.2 [1.75.1]
[ebuild     U ] dev-python/setuptools-0.6_rc9-r1 [0.6_rc9]
[ebuild     U ] net-nds/openldap-2.4.17-r1 [2.3.43-r1] USE="berkdb* gnutls%* -cxx% -experimental% -icu% -iodbc% -syslog%"
[ebuild     U ] x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-185.18.31 [185.18.14]
[ebuild     U ] media-video/nvidia-settings-185.18.31 [180.60]
[ebuild     U ] dev-util/cmake-2.6.4-r2 [2.6.4] USE="-python3%"

Likewise, a few days ago, "emerge gnome" emerged updates to several gnome component files that didn't select with emerge world -Du --newuse -pv.

Any suggested course of action to inject the necessary packages, etc which would correct this?

Thanks.

Try adding "--with-bdeps=y" to your other emerge world options.

Thanks, that does bring in some interesting build-time dependencies, I hadn't noticed with-bdeps before:
Code:
# emerge world -Du --newuse -pv --with-bdeps=y
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies ... done!
[ebuild     U ] x11-base/xorg-server-1.6.3 [1.6.2.901] USE="dmx hal ipv6 kdrive nptl sdl xorg -debug -minimal -tslib" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev -acecad -aiptek -citron -elographics -fpit -hyperpen -joystick -keyboard -mouse -mutouch -penmount -synaptics -tslib -virtualbox -vmmouse -void -wacom" VIDEO_CARDS="fbdev nvidia vesa -apm -ark -ast -chips -cirrus -dummy -epson -fglrx (-geode) -glint -i128 (-i740) (-impact) (-imstt) -intel -mach64 -mga -neomagic (-newport) -nv -r128 -radeon -radeonhd -rendition -s3 -s3virge -savage -siliconmotion -sis -sisusb (-sunbw2) (-suncg14) (-suncg3) (-suncg6) (-sunffb) (-sunleo) (-suntcx) -tdfx -tga -trident -tseng -v4l (-vermilion) -via -virtualbox -vmware -voodoo (-xgi)" 4,543 kB
[ebuild     U ] x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.2.3 [2.2.2] USE="-debug" 290 kB
[ebuild     U ] x11-drivers/xf86-video-vesa-2.2.1 [2.2.0] USE="-debug" 244 kB
[ebuild     U ] x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-185.18.31 [185.18.14] USE="acpi gtk (multilib) -custom-cflags" 0 kB

I'm not sure it's selecting the same set I'm missing from the found world file, however, as emerge -e gnome still brings in new dependencies (or tries to, as some are presently blockers).

Why, yes! This one-liner will build everything in world that isn't actually installed:
Code:
cat /var/lib/portage/world | xargs emerge -v --noreplace
It'll also install any missing dependencies. :wink:

I was trying to build my own package and then have portage assume the package was already provided.

But following the documentation for emerge didnt help me a lot because packages.provided seems to be ignored and emerge --inject is not a recognized option..

Is threre a new procedure for this?

You are in the wrong thread. This thread is old and solved. This thread does not deal with /etc/portage/profile/package.provided, which is still supported. However, unless you are simply unable to build the named package on your architecture and wish to use an equivalent package, you would be better off using a local overlay to build the package and let Portage manage it.
