I just did a stage1 install and ran into bug #39318. To solve it, I (temporarily) disabled the java USE flag. I just re-enabled it, and ran a emerge -p --newuse world but emerge sais everything is fine: # emerge -pv --newuse world These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies ...done!

What's the output of emerge -evp world show?
(In reply to comment #1) > What's the output of emerge -evp world show? I'm guessing that sys-libs/db will not be included in the output of "emerge -evp world". That is normal if sys-libs/db was merged as a dependency of another package that is not yet installed. That would make this bug a duplicate of bug 97616 and bug 100382.

Have you uninstalled sys-libs/db-4.2.52_p2 between comment #0 and comment #3? Please attach /var/lib/portage/world.
I needed some space so deleted that setup, if needed I'll remake it. I didn't unmerge anything. I tried a stage 1 setup, but failed (see comment #1), so I disabled java. to break the circular dependency. to return to the desired state, I re-added java to the use flags and wanted to update all packages that need to: emerge --newuse world. Aparently, none needed updates... the N on the emerge output is normal (I guess), since you asked to --emptytree. Which will pretend nothing is installed. A normal emerge db gives the output in comment #1. as said, I deleted the files, but since this was right after emerge system, I guess the world-file would be empty. (I can check this, if you reasy want to)
Okay, I see the problem. You didn't use emerge --deep (-D). You should use that if you want portage to update dependencies. The sys-libs/db package is not directly a part of the world or system classes. It is a dependency. Portage seems to be working correctly.
As said in initial post: > > I also tried the -D option, same result
I'm also having a similar problem. I tried emerging nuvexport, received a warning about not having mjpeg as an use flag. I added it to my make.conf and emerge -upvDN world doesn't show transcode, but finds many others for other use flags. I added the -u option because I read somewhere that it is required for -N to find the packages.
I think I figured out my problem. The package nuvexport didn't finish emerging so it wasn't added to the world file. Since it wasn't in the world file emerge -upvDN world didn't find transcode. So not related to this bug, sorry. Back to the bug, did the original submiter try the -u option along with newuse?
(In reply to comment #9) > did the original submiter try the -u option along with newuse? No I did not. As already mentioned, I removed the setup, so I can't try it now. If wanted I can try to reinstall and check it.
I had the same problem this night when I tried to recompile my KDE (3.4.2 split ebuilds) without the arts useflag. After adding -arts to the make.conf and emerge -C arts kdemultimedia-arts artsplugin-*, I ran emerge -pvD --newuse world. This only showed a couple of packets (around 10) to rebuild. I was surprised, but let it run for the night. This morning I discovered that several programs still search for the arts libraries. Inspired by comment #9, I tried emerge -pvDu --newuse world, which now showed another 20 packets or so to rebuild. So using -u with --newuse seems to show the complete list.
I just experienced the same problem: # emerge --newuse --deep --pretend world These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies ...done! (nothing!) Whereas, the following command gives me lots and lots of use flags with a *: # emerge --verbose --pretend `qpkg -I -nc` | grep '*' [ebuild R ] app-crypt/gnupg-1.4.1 +X -bzip2 -caps +curl* -ecc -idea -ldap +nls +readline (-selinux) -smartcard +zlib 0 kB [ebuild R ] dev-lang/swig-1.3.21 +X -guile -java +perl +php* +python -ruby +tcltk 0 kB [ebuild R ] dev-php/mod_php-4.4.0 +X -apache2 +berkdb +crypt +curl* -debug -doc -fdftk -firebird -flash -freetds +gd -gd-external +gdbm -gmp -hardenedphp -imap -informix +ipv6 -java +jpeg -kerberos -ldap -mcal -memlimit -mssql +mysql +nls -oci8 -odbc +pam +png -postgres -snmp +spell +ssl +tiff +truetype +xml2 -yaz 0 kB [ebuild R ] dev-php/php-4.4.0 +X +berkdb +crypt +curl* -debug -doc -fdftk -firebird -flash -freetds +gd -gd-external +gdbm -gmp -hardenedphp -imap -informix +ipv6 -java +jpeg -kerberos -ldap -mcal -memlimit -mssql +mysql +ncurses +nls -oci8 -odbc +pam +png -postgres +readline -snmp +spell +ssl +tiff +truetype +xml2 -yaz 0 kB [trimmed.. I think you get the point] I think --newuse and --deep simply aren't working together at all. When --newuse is used, --deep is ignored.
Btw, emerge -pvDu --newuse world doesn't show me anything. Everything is up-to-date as far as the package versions are concerned.
(In reply to comment #13) > Btw, emerge -pvDu --newuse world doesn't show me anything. Everything is > up-to-date as far as the package versions are concerned. Does the ouput of "emerge -p depclean" show any of those packages? If so, it would indicate that you need to add some packages to the /var/lib/portage/world (or unmerge them).

Will make --newuse imply --update on the next round. The other bugs regarding -puDN not finding stuff - it's packages missing from your world file and/or changes deps with regard to changing use flags making installed packages no longer necessary.
Fixed in 2.0.53_rc5
