 |
|
does the following bash console snapshot look weird to anyone? if i want to update everything (world) there is nothing to emerge, but if i just look at one package (kdemultimedia) all of a sudden it DOES have an update. do i misunderstand what world means, or is something wrong with portage? and yes, etcat shows that i have an outdated kdemultimedia package.
| Code: | root@payam bin # emerge -pu world
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating world dependencies ...done!
root@payam bin # emerge -pu kdemultimedia
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!

I would image you are experiencing the "--deep" syndrome. man emerge and look at the option.
The KDE "virtual or meta package" or whatever it is called (it encompasses all the kde components is very strange.) is very strange. for example, you cannot unmerge KDE by doing
you have to do each package individually. I never figured it out. Then I started to use enlightenment.. All is well  |

| Not all packages get recorded in your world file and so when you go to do an emerge -u world it won't necessarily hit every package that has possibly been updated. In order to upgrade the rest I believe you need to use --deep to get all dependcies but I could be wrong. |
