Small conundrum arises; if evolution is uninstalled and nothing else |
| 16 |
depends on mozilla, even emerge world -up --deep will not catch and |
| 17 |
upgrade mozilla if there is an upgrade available; workarounds like using |
| 18 |
qpkg -nc -I | xargs emerge -up --deep have to be employed, which |
| 19 |
effectively bypasses the world file and walks the /var filesystem instead. |
