"emerge -uNDf world" does nothing because the system is up to date. Even |
| 32 |
if all distfiles are missing, it does nothing (try to move the distfiles |
| 33 |
directory away while executing it). That command is supposed to |
| 34 |
"download everything that is missing to update the system". And since |
| 35 |
the system is up to date, nothing is needed to update it and it will |
| 36 |
therefore not download anything. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
What I wanted was "download everything that is missing to reinstall |
| 39 |
everything that is currently installed". That is what "emerge -ef world" |
| 40 |
should do. Then I wanted to "remove everything that is not needed to |
| 41 |
reinstall everything that is currently installed". That is what "eclean |
| 42 |
--destructive distfiles" should do. Doing both should result in a set of |
| 43 |
distfiles that is "what is needed and only what is needed to reinstall |
| 44 |
everything that is currently installed (assuming that the system is up |
| 45 |
to date)". But since the 2 commands do not agree, something is broken |
| 46 |
somewhere. |
