7 If I 'emerge -uaDvNK' in the chroot, portage wants to emerge every package of
8 which a binpkg exists, but it omits postfix and says it's found a USE flag
9 mismatch. If I 'emerge -uaDvNk' it only updates the existing installed
10 packages, but it still complains about the postfix mismatch.
11
12 But postfix isn't installed in the chroot system.

14 Remember: I bind-mount the packages directory of the host to the same place in
15 the chroot, so it contains the full set of packages, from which I want to
16 update just those that are installed in the chroot system.

18 And I have even less idea what's going wrong than ever.
