When I tried to merge bbkeys, the dependency is blackbox. Evertyhing compiles, installs etc, but when I looked in the /var/cache/world file only bbkeys made it. This means that when a new blackbox version is released emerge -pu world will not show blackbox. Or am I wrong?
Forgot to mention that I use portage 1.9.1, but the problem was there before this version.
Ryan, the way I understand it is that the deps should automatically get upgraded if there is a new one. For instance with the bbkeys, blackbox thing, even with blackbox not in the world file, if there is a new blackbox, portage should pick up on it, and upgrade anyway. Can you confirm this?
This is confirmed, but seemant, the issue is this. emerge bbkeys, merges both blackbox and bbkeys. Apparently the world file never gets populated with the dependency blackbox. This issue happens on my gentoo box as well.
After talking to drobbins, and seemant about this they have concluded it isn't a bug. The world file will update blackbox as long as it doesn't break bbkeys dependencies, thus the reason why it isn't in the world file.
Why doen't mozilla get updated on my system then? I have net-www/mozilla-0.9.9-r1 installed, newest is net-www/mozilla-0.9.9-r2. I have net-www/galeon-1.2.0-r3 installed, which installed mozilla as a dependency. The dependency galeon have towards mozilla is ~net-www/mozilla-0.9.9 which should not break dependency?! It seems that it is first when a new version of galeon is updated that mozilla is checked for update. And when I tried emerge --pretend --update mozilla, gnome-base/ORBit-0.5.14-r2 also showed up. Sorry for taking your time :)
