42 +<body>

44 +<p>
45 +By default, the dependency graph may not include some packages. For example,
46 +it will not include any packages that are listed in the output of
47 +<c>emerge --pretend --depclean</c>. It will also not include any build time
48 +dependencies for installed packages or binary packages. If you would like to
49 +include such build time dependencies even though they are not strictly
50 +required, use <c>--with-bdeps=y</c>. You can set
51 +<c>EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--with-bdeps=y"</c> in <path>/etc/make.conf</path> if
52 +you would like this option to be enabled by default.
53 +If you would like a specific package to be updated in any case, you can use
54 +<c>emerge --noreplace &lt;atom&gt;</c> to have it added to the world set.
55 +</p>
56 +<p>
57 +After running <c>emerge --deep --with-bdeps=y world</c>, it is a good idea to
58 +use <c>emerge --pretend --depclean</c> to see if there are any packages that
59 +it would remove. If that command shows a package that you would like to keep,
60 +use <c>emerge --noreplace &lt;atom&gt;</c> to have it added to the world set.
61 +</p>
62 +<warn>When you use <c>emerge --depclean</c> to remove unwanted packages, it is
63 +a good idea to run <c>revdep-rebuild</c> (from the gentoolkit package)
64 +afterwards.</warn>
65 +<note>Run <c>man emerge</c> to view the manual page which documents all
66 +<c>emerge</c> options.</note>
