When trying to use the command "emerge world -puDU" to do a deep update of my system, packages keep appearing which are not in my world file, and don't seem to be dependencies of any packages I have installed (as indicated by the fact that they are all new). In this case, it happens with quite a few GNOME packages, even though I have -gnome in my use flags. The same behavior does not happen when I remove the -DU flag from the command.
Created attachment 14558 [details] Output of emerge -puDU world Output of the deep update option "emerge -puDU world". Notice that esound had just been removed from my system: Now portage wants it back. ;) I even included USE=-esd at the beginning of the command line.
Created attachment 14559 [details] Output of emerge -pu world This is an output of the exact same command from attachment 1 [details], except that the -DU option was removed. Notice that esound is no longer in the list, not to mention about 40 GNOME packages.
Created attachment 14560 [details] The world file used This is my world file at the time of running the commands.
Comment on attachment 14559 [details] Output of emerge -pu world This is the results of the same command as Attachment 14558 [details], but without the -DU option. Notice that esound is no longer included in the output
old and without emerge --info or at least -v for the attachments there's nothing that could be done.
