75 I ran into this a long time ago and I added this to my make.conf so that
76 I don't forget. Try running this:
77
78 emerge -uvDNa --with-bdeps y world
79
80 Then see what that does. That added bit makes it look deeper into
81 dependencies. Like you, I thought that was what the -D did but
82 apparently that only goes to a certain depth then stops. If you want to
83 add that to make.conf like I did, this is what goes there:
84
85 EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--with-bdeps y"
86
87 It's your choice whether to add that or not. It will make emerge
88 process what needs to be updated a while longer tho.
