What I want is to remerge everything on the system, whether it is a |
| 12 |
dependency or not, everything. I had thought a simple "emerge world" |
| 13 |
would do that, but your answer and other examples I have seen here |
| 14 |
before make me disbelieve that -- why would --deep or --update be |
| 15 |
necessary? Is world not really everything? Maybe there should be a |
| 16 |
new target, "universe". I simply want to remerge all the merged |
| 17 |
software on this system, regardless of whether it ws asked for |
| 18 |
directly or hauled in by some other package however indirectly. |

When I do weekly updates, I use -ptuvDN. |

Here is what --tree shows (snippets only!): |

That is the only seamonkey emerge. I added -nsplugin to totem in |
| 30 |
package.use and it is happy now. I simply unmerged the others, it is |
| 31 |
too much of an annoyance, but I do not feel like chasing down the |
| 32 |
totem unmerge heritage, or I would end up with very little left. Been |
| 33 |
there, done that. I may just get rid of gnome entirely, since I |
| 34 |
hardly every try it, and it seems to have far more of these dependency |
| 35 |
and USE flag problems than anything else. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
It doesn't really explain why totem cares about seamonkey vs firefox |
| 38 |
vs mozilla, or how anyone shoudl know that nsplugin actually means |
| 39 |
seamonkey. This is the most frustrating part. |
