1 Running gentoo as guest in Vbox on win7 64bit
2
3 Attempting to update with: emerge -vuDp world
4
5 Lists gentoo-sources in output like this:
6
7 ,----
8 | [ebuild NS ] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.2.21 [3.3.4] USE="-build
9 | -deblob -symlink" 452 kB
10 `----
11
12 Even when adding -t (tree) to the cmdline it still does not indicate
13 what is pulling that in. It is shown unindented and same as above.
14
15 That output indicates the only kernel installed is 3.3.4 but just to
16 check for sure:
17
18 eix -Ic sources:
19 ,----
20 | root # eix -Ic sources
21 | [D] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources (3.3.4(3.3.4)@04/29/12 -> 3.0.17-r2(3.0.17-r2)^bs (~)3.0.33(3.0.33)^bs (~)3.0.35(3.0.35)^bs (~)3.0.36(3.0.36)^bs 3.1.10-r1(3.1.10-r1)^bs 3.2.1-r2(3.2.1-r2)^bs 3.2.12(3.2.12)^bs (~)3.2.14(3.2.14)^bs (~)3.2.16(3.2.16)^bs (~)3.2.21(3.2.21)^bs): Full sources including the Gentoo patchset for the 3.4 kernel tree

24 I guess you can't really see it in that output without me adding some
25 fancy escaping and ansi sequences, but 3.3.4 is highlighted indicating
26 it is the only one installed.
27
28 And I have this in /etc/portage/package.mask
29
30 >=sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.3.5
31
32 So why is version 3.2.21 being installed?
33
34 If something besides an earlier kernel being installed was the cause
35 it should show up by using -t right?
