Thanks Yogesh. I understand the difference between the commands. In my case, the |
| 7 |
combination of emerge and qpkg didn't find anything that -uD was missing, probably because |
| 8 |
this home machine is a fresh reinstall (disk died). |

What I thought was strange was that, even though both commands returned the same exact |
| 11 |
list of packages to update, they were in a different order. I suppose that this was |
| 12 |
because qpkg is just supplying command line args to emerge, and if the packages don't have |
| 13 |
dependencies on each other, emerge is happy to do them in the order they appear on the |
| 14 |
command line. Not sure what would determine the order that -uD gets... |

Thanks again for the tip though; hadn't thought to use qpkg as input to emerge and hadn't |
| 17 |
noticed that -n switch on emerge. |
