The summary says it all. I have virtualbox-modules in package.keywords (along with the rest of the virtualbox packages), and found that, when running emerge -uavDN world, virtualbox-modules is not listed, although emerge -av virtualbox-modules list an avalible update (2.0.4 -> 2.0.6). dbus-glib was listed in the output of emerge -uavDN world, so emerge is listing updatable packages, but it isn't listing them all. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge -uavDN world 2.emerge -av virtualbox-modules 3.compare output Portage 2.1.6 (selinux/2007.0/amd64, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.6.1-r0, 2.6.26-gentoo-r4 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.26-gentoo-r4-x86_64-AMD_Athlon-tm-_64_X2_Dual_Core_Processor_4800+-with-glibc2.2.5 Timestamp of tree: Thu, 11 Dec 2008 08:30:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 3.2_p33 dev-lang/python: 2.5.2-r7 dev-util/cmake: 2.4.6-r1 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.11.1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61-r2 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.1-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.26 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.23-r3 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon64 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon64 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="distlocks fixpackages loadpolicy parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox selinux sesandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/gentoo/ http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--sort-common -s" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_COMPRESS="bzip2" PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS="-9" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X acpi aim alsa amd64 apm bash-completion cli cracklib cscope dri gif gtk hou iconv ipv6 jpeg mbox mmx mmxext mp3 msn mudflap ncurses nodrm nptl nptlonly nvidia openal opengl openmp pam pcre png ruby selinux session sse sse2 ssl tcpd unicode vim-syntax xcb xorg xv xvmc yahoo zlib" ALSA_CARDS="i8x0" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev keyboard mouse" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="hd44780" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
