Bug 96087 – portage / gentoolkit corrupt ? (big _question_)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Attila Stehr 2005-06-14 08:48:58 UTC]

When I do 'emerge -pv --deep --newuse world' not all packages are stated which
can be updated. See example below.

==>
Hum - I know this is very awkward topic. So if I understood something wrong or
am in any other way the reason for this problem: PLEASE DO NOT SHOOT ME !
<==

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -pv --deep --newuse world
2. emerge -pv --deep --newuse hal

Actual Results:  
Some packages which may be updated are not shown.
(One package whichis grub seems not installed at all - wonder how it disappears
each time after booting my system :-O

Expected Results:  
show existing (and make) update (possible) by using 'world'

Maybe I'm blind - but I can not find 
1) hal
2) mc
3) grub (wich IS installed)
in the 'emerge -p world' result below.

magic atti # emerge -pv --newuse --deep world 
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
