 Posted: Thu May 16, 2002 9:34 am Post subject: emerge update world doesn't update |
 |
|
So, I rust ran an emerge rsync...
| Code: |
somebox portage # emerge --version
Portage 1.9.11
somebox root # emerge --pretend update world
These are the packages that I would merge, in order.
Calculating world dependencies ...done!
somebox root # emerge -s abiword
[ Results for search key : abiword ]
[ Applications found : 1 ]
* app-office/abiword
Latest version Available: 1.0.1
Latest version Installed: 1.0.0

It's not just AbiWord either, there's a couple other applications that I know need to be upgraded as well. Any clues as to what's going on? I've been able to do update world before, but recently it hasn't been updating and it was bothering me since I noticed that there were new/updated packages but I didn't really look into it untill now. |

| Annoying, isn't it? Upgrade Portage to 1.9.12 and the problem should go away. And double-check abiword (for example) is in your /var/cache/edb/world file. |

Yeah, it was updated it a week or two ago, I'm not sure what version changed it. Your best friend is emerge --help. That seems to be most up-to-date.

yeah... even man emerge isn't up to date... damn... that really suck
i searched that command for 2h wondering why the fuck it won't update, and i though about some command line change too, i did man emerge and nothing said about this
damn!! it's the most important tool of the system and the man is not up to date ? wtf ? |

Yeah, they really should keep that updated.
--help is pretty much guaranteed to be accurate, if not especially descriptive though. |
