Hello, recently I found that portage-2.1.2.2 (and maybe older) doesn't update packages, which is in DEPEND only (like if I install only net-misc/tor, dev-libs/libevent will be this package. The other example is yasm, it's only in DEPEND of media-libs/xvid on my system) And if I 'emerge -pvND world', those packages will not be installed :( Portage 2.1.2.2 (default-linux/x86/2006.1/desktop, gcc-4.1.1, glibc-2.5-r0, 2.6.20-gentoo i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.20-gentoo i686 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ Gentoo Base System release 1.12.9 Timestamp of tree: Sat, 24 Mar 2007 01:47:01 +0000 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.0.31 dev-lang/python: 2.4.3-r4 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.14 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.17-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=k8 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/gconf /etc/java-config/vms/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/splash /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=k8 -pipe" DISTDIR="/mnt/new_d/lin_dist/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo" LANG="ru_RU.UTF-8" LINGUAS="ru en" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages --filter=H_**/files/digest-*" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage /usr/local/layman/sunrise /usr/local/layman/postgresql-testing /usr/local/layman/postgresql-experimental" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow 3dnowext X a52 aalib acl alsa arts bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts boost bzip2 cairo cdr chardet cli cracklib crypt dbus dri dvd dvdr emboss enca encode esd expat fam fbcon firefox flac fortran gd gdbm gmp gnome gpm graphviz gstreamer gtk hal iconv icu imagemagick isdnlog java jpeg jpeg2k kde kdehiddenvisibility lcms libg++ libnotify lm_sensors logrotate lua lzo mad matroska midi mmx mmxext mng modplug mp3 mpeg musicbrainz ncurses nls nptl nptlonly ogg opengl pam pcre perl png pppd pwdb python qt3 qt4 quicktime rar readline reflection ruby samba sasl sdl session slang spell spl sqlite sqlite3 sse sse2 ssl startup-notification svg tcl tcpd tetex threads tiff tk truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode vorbis wavpack win32codecs wxwindows x264 x86 xcomposite xml xorg xscreensaver xv xvid zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1 emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="ru en" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nv none" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, MAKEOPTS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
Sorry for my BAD english :(
This is not a bug, it's intended. You need --with-bdeps=y if you want the original behaviour. You can add it to EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS as well.
Sorry for my stupidity :( I didn't 'man emerge' since last update
