Description Todd Wright 2002-04-18 11:21:16 UTC 
Portage 1.9.1

'emerge --pretend --emptytree world' does not produce the expected output. It 
seems to be equivalent to 'emerge --pretend --emptytree system'

ie: It does not appear to look at the world file to include packages that were 
installed after the initial 'emerge system'.

See bug 1897 for a related --emptytree problem.
Comment 1 Daniel Robbins (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-04-21 17:52:38 UTC 
OK, this happens because world profile entries are ignored for packages that
aren't installed.  And since --emptytree tells emerge to pretend that no
packages are installed, the "world" file is basically ignored.  Investigating
some options here.

Will be fixed in Portage 2.0.2
