Description Narada Sage 2003-03-11 13:47:23 UTC 
When I 'emerge sync' frequently this message appears:
   * An update to portage is available. It is _highly_ recommended
   * that you update portage now, before any other packages are updated.
   * Please do so and then update ALL of your configuration files.
However, when I do 'emerge -uvp --deep world' after syncing I get:
   These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
   Calculating world dependencies ...done!

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge sync
2.portage upgrade note appears
3.emerge -uvp --deep world

Actual Results:  
The pretend update deep world does not show a portage upgrade.

Expected Results:  
The emerge sync process should not warn of portage upgrades unless there are 
upgrades.

Is this due to out of date mirrors?

Comment 1 Martin Holzer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-03-11 13:54:52 UTC 
dhruba: portage means the package sys-apps/portage 

nick: emerge doesn't check if you use x86 or ~x86. it displays this warning even if you are using stable.
Comment 2 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2003-03-11 18:49:23 UTC 
actually it doesnt check portage mask status ... in this case, portage is in package.mask
