 |
|
Hi all,
I get this:
| Code: | # emerge -Dup world
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating world dependencies ...done! |
But also that:
| Code: | # emerge -pu xscreensaver
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild U ] x11-misc/xscreensaver-4.20 [4.16] |
What is wrong here?
[edit]
I hope xscreensaver is the only package that does that...

Although I unmerge and emerge xscreensaver twice, I had this. Despite that,
| Code: | # regenworld
add to world: x11-misc/xscreensaver |
fixed it.
Still looks strange to me. |

when you emerge a package that has dependencies, only the package you specifically gave to portage gets put in the world file. the deps don't. the idea is that doing an emerge --deep will see that package in the world file and check it's dependencies for updates as well. also, if there's an update to a dependency and you emerge it, it still doesn't get added. now, if the original package were to be unmerged, you'd end up with orphan dependencies that never get checked when you search for updates. there are other ways this can happen, but this is a pretty common one.
anyways, this oneliner will check each and every package you have installed for upgrades individually.
| Code: | | emerge -up --nodeps $(qpkg -I -nc | awk '{printf $1 " "}') |
just set it as a function in .bashrc or put it in a script and run it every once in a while. it usualy picks up one or two stray packages that portage missed.

You are right about the dependency stuff. What I find strange that the error still occured after I did
| Code: | emerge -C xscreensaver
emerge =x11-misc/xscreensaver-4.16 |
After this,
still did not want to install xscreensaver-4.20, although xscreensaver was not installed as a dependency of something. Instead
| Code: | | emerge -up xscreensaver |
worked.
Like I said,
fixed it. |
