When I tried I got: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
$ eix -Iu --only-names |
| 17 |
app-arch/lzma-utils |
| 18 |
dev-libs/libsigc++ |
| 19 |
media-plugins/gst-plugins-x |
| 20 |
media-plugins/gst-plugins-xvideo |
| 21 |
sys-apps/hdparm |
| 22 |
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources |
| 23 |
virtual/perl-Test-Harness |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
However, when I run emerge -upDv --with-deps y world I get just one package: |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
# emerge -upDv --with-bdeps y world |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
These are the packages that would be merged, in order: |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Calculating world dependencies | |
| 32 |
... done! |

[ebuild U ] app-arch/lzma-utils-4.32.6 [4.32.5] USE="-nocxx%" 468 kB |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Total: 1 package (1 upgrade), Size of downloads: 468 kB |
| 36 |
|

Where's the others gone? |
