1 I have been running an AMD64 system for a while and was tempted by ~AMD64.
2 I copied my hardrive onto a spare, booted it up, edited make.conf to use
3 ~AMD64 as the default and ran emerge sync && emerge -uavDN world.
4
5 After a bit of fiddling around with emerge stopping on several occasions
6 for various errors I finally had a fully functional ~AMD64 system with
7 kde3.5. However I noticed several packages had not been upgraded and if I
8 ran emerge -uavDN world again they still were not picked up. Particularly:
9
10 firefox-bin - stopped at 1.07 and did not upgrade until I specifically ran
11 emerge -uavDN mozilla-firefox-bin
12
13 kontact/kmail simply did not make it to kde3.5 at all and had to be
14 emerged manually with emerge -uavDN kmail
15
16 amarok did not upgrade.....emerge -uavDN amarok sorted that
17
18 There are probably more I haven't found...what is going on here? Why
19 aren't these packages, that should be in my world file, not upgraded? My
20 package.keywords file has nothing in it restricting the upgrades and they
21 work when entered individually.
