1 Hello~
2
3 Yesterday, I did update my gentoo like this.
4
5 $ sudo emerge --update --deep --newuse world
6
7 As a result, one of the updated package tiff said like this.
8 * Messages for package media-libs/tiff-3.8.2-r5:
9
10 * JBIG support is intended for Hylafax fax compression, so we
11 * really need more feedback in other areas (most testing has
12 * been done with fax). Be sure to recompile anything linked
13 * against tiff if you rebuild it with jbig support.
14
15 So I checked what package linked with libtiff(Actually, there is no need to
16 do this. I just want to know).
17
18 $ revdep-rebuild -p --library /usr/lib/libtiff.so.3
19
20 Then, revdep-rebuild display like this.
21 [ebuild R ] media-libs/tiff-3.8.2-r5
22 [ebuild R ] media-gfx/imagemagick-6.4.3.5
23 [ebuild R ] media-libs/lcms-1.17
24 [ebuild U ] media-libs/vigra-1.6.0 [1.5.0-r1]
25 [ebuild R ] net-print/cups-1.3.8-r1
26 [ebuild R ] x11-libs/gtk+-2.12.12
27 [ebuild R ] app-text/ghostscript-gpl-8.63
28 [ebuild R ] app-text/evince-2.22.2-r1
29 [ebuild R ] media-gfx/gthumb-2.10.9

32 As you can see, there is a package "vigra" with flag "U".
33 As I know, U is need to update, and if I do emerge --update world, it will
34 be update.
35
36 But there is no "vigra" in result of "emerge -p --update world"(with --deep
37 also).
38 Of course, it still shows flag "U" if I do "emerge -p vigra"
39
40 What is difference with emerge --update world and emerge vigra?
41 And how can I update all new package without exceptions?
42
43 If you know, please let me know.
