1 Hi,
2
3 would anybody please be so kind to explain to me how
4 emerge --update --newuse --deep @system @world
5 works.
6
7 E.g. it wants to re-emerge sys-devel/gcc because of the
8 "new use flag nptl" according to
9
10 [ebuild R ] sys-devel/gcc-4.4.0 USE="nptl%*"
11 [ebuild R ] sys-devel/gcc-4.3.3-r2 USE="nptl%*"
12
13 But, looking at the corresponding ebuild files they don't
14 use (IUSE or other) such a use flag.
15 But why then does emerge want to rebuild those packages.?
16
17 (I'm using portage 2.2_rc33)
18
19 Many thanks for an explanation,
20 Helmut.
