20 | Of course, it still shows flag "U" if I do "emerge -p vigra"
21 |
22 | What is difference with emerge --update world and emerge vigra?
23 | And how can I update all new package without exceptions?
24
25 I am also curious to know why portage just "forgets" to update certain
26 packages. What I used to do to find them is a plain
27 eix -I | grep "\[U\]"
28 which just greps for the pattern [U] marking an upgradeable package.
29 Then you can format this list and run
30 emerge -1 `insert packagelist here`
31 The -1 is important to not register these packages in your world file,
32 which you probably don't wont for some package that only is a dependency.
33
34 Still, I would like to know how this happens...
