Description Billy DeVincentis 2007-12-23 14:38:39 UTC
Kuroo 0.81_rc1  is regularly showing packages as updates although portage has already updated them. I'm not sure if this is because I don't usually use kuroo to install packages (I opt for doing it by the command line in a terminal, I rather use kuroo to let me know whats installed, check use flags, package versions). What I've noticed is that it does not as reliably show the updates column correctly as older versions had. Although, if you do a refresh packages, after doing so everything appears correctly.

Reproducible: Always

Are you sure it isn't for a change in the use flags?
Try an
emerge -auvDN world
and check if those packages aren't pretending to be re-emerged
for a change in the use flags (yellow color...)

I know and understand what you're  talking about and its  not  that. I have done that and it shows nothing, furthermore, if you do a refresh packages or sometimes just a refresh update it will then remove the supposed upfates.

I've contacted upstream about this.

First of all: I am a kuroo developer. Thanks for the report, I've launched RC1 without any report in some time :)

This behaviour is normal: if you use extern utilities (such emerge new things, or sync) without reloading kuroo's DB, kuroo will only detect what *was* installed, and will not reflect changes, you need to update kuroo database.

Anyway, kuroo will be rewritten from scratch (though kuroo website server died horribly :( ), so please, be patient, and feel free to email me of kuroo's problems until we can set another server.

Thanks again,

I  understand what you are saying but strangely enough, kuroo is very proficient at picking up what is emerged through an external process. I have kuroo running full time and if I emerge a package in a terminal, it will show up in kuroos log page and also will show up in kuroo upon completion of the emerge. The problem I was trying to bring to your attention is that once in a while a package that was upgraded and is at the newest version just insists on being in the updates column until I do a refresh packages. Realistically, this isn't a big problem and has happened less and less, in fact it hasn't happened on any of my boxes in the last 2 or 3 weeks.
