Description Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-05-07 00:51:28 UTC 
The Gentoo Handbook contains a section about updating world which mentions:

"""
Dependencies are not part of the world file, but we will get to that later.
"""

There is however no "later". The phraze refers to the use of "--deep" to have "emerge --update --deep world" take all dependencies into account (instead of just the immediate dependencies of the world-file), but this isn't listed in that chapter.
