Comment 10 Dan Wallis 2008-10-11 14:50:16 UTC
What I don't get is: why when I run "emerge --update --deep --newuse world" (or system for that matter), sys-apps/ed is not updated, and when I run "emerge --depclean" it's not removed. So what's installed it and why doesn't it get updated properly? Should I raise a separate bug for this?
Comment 11 Robert Buchholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-10-11 15:26:51 UTC
are you certain you do not have ed 1.0 installed already? please post your emerge --info

Oh, and same results for "emerge -pvuDN system" as for "emerge -pvuDN world". Also, it's not just this one box, all my boxes have this (although I've manually updated most of them now).
