First: don't use qpkg, it's dead and has several conceptual bugs |
| 22 |
(causing for example wrong results for the command you use). New |
| 23 |
gentoolkit versions already don't install it anymore (except for a copy |
| 24 |
in the docs dir). |
| 25 |
As for general update procedure, I'd recommend: |
| 26 |
- glsa-check -l $(glsa-check -t new) |
| 27 |
- Update those packages first (glsa-check -f new, might cause some |
| 28 |
redundant updates though later due to a different update strategy) |
| 29 |
- emerge -uavDN world |
| 30 |
- emerge -p --depclean |
| 31 |
- Check that list and either remove the packages or add them to the |
| 32 |
world file |
| 33 |
- revdep-rebuild || revdep-rebuild -X |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
This requires and ensures that your worldfile is always uptodate and |
| 36 |
correct, thought you might have already corrupted it with your qpkg |
| 37 |
trick (as in some versions -u added a package to world). |
