4 Hmmm. Very interesting! 'emerge --newuse -p world' gives me a long list of
5 packages, some of which aren't even installed, and which probably aren't
6 depended by anything else. This is odd.
7
8 This list also includes updates on a number of packages which are apparently
9 slipping through the cracks when I do a daily 'emerge -u world'. I've been
10 noticing this for some time now. Some packages apparently didn't get
11 registered with 'world' when they're built, and I come on them from time to
12 time by chance and notice the version differences between what's installed
13 and what's available.
14
15 'emerge --newuse -u -p world' gives me a longer list, which is apparently a
16 superset of the above. I would expect the list to be shorter.
