 Posted: Wed Jul 31, 2002 5:05 am Post subject: Upgrading packages installed as dependencies |
 |
|
Hello!
When I emerge things, such as kde, many dependencies are emerged as well. However, these don't get included in world, so they don't get checked for updates when i do emerge --pretned --update world
Is there an easy to check and see if these packages also need updating?
TIA |

You bad boy, you should've searched the forums, as this has been discussed many times before.
You can add all installed packages to world. The world file sits in /var/cache/edb/world. Backup the file, make sure you have qpkg (gentoolkit package) installed and run:
| Code: | | qpkg -I -nc > /var/cache/edb/world |
This will list all the installed packages and create the world file. Now you can try updating world again.

Don't let anyone know (ooh the humilation and the shame  ) but I already have a teacher's diploma (just need some more teaching hours for the final stamp). Don't think I'm gonna become one though....
