1 Hi,
2
3 I recognized this some time ago!
4
5 When my system is up to date "emerge -pvuND world" shows me:
6
7 > emerge -pvuND world
8 >
9 > These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
10 >
11 > Calculating world dependencies... done!
12 >
13 > Total size of downloads: 0 kB
14
15 Which is normal because an up to date system doesn't have to download
16 anything. But when i add the emptytree option "emerge -pveuND world" i
17 get this (output reduced):
18
19 > emerge -pveuND world

34 So why are there appearing some apps now for which portage has to
35 download something? Using eix on sys-devel/binutils and net-dialup/ppp
36 tells me that i have exactly those ebuilds listed above installed.
37
38 I think that there have been made changes to this ebuild without
39 increasing the version number. For example binutils from 2.16.1-r3 to
40 2.16.1-r4. So portage doesn't upgrade this package although there have
41 been changes. Or is there a portage option i don't know until now which
42 i have to use for getting this apps updated. Am i guessing right in any
43 of this cases or is this another problem with portage?
44
45 Thanks in advance,
46
