"Upgraded" media-libs/freetype-1.3.1-r4 does not upgrade anything. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1 # emerge sync 2. # emerge -uDpv world These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies ...done! [ebuild U ] media-libs/freetype-1.3.1-r4 [1.3.1-r3] +nls -tetex 0 kB 3. # emerge -uav freetype These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! Total size of downloads: 0 kB Nothing to merge; do you want me to auto-clean packages? [Yes/No] Actual Results: Nothing emerged. Expected Results: Working emerge of upgraded package.

What happens without -a and with -p? What happens without -a?
Nicholas, basically nothing happens. See below. # emerge -upv freetype These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! Total size of downloads: 0 kB ----- # emerge -uv freetype Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> Recording media-libs/freetype in "world" favorites file... >>> Auto-cleaning packages ... >>> No outdated packages were found on your system. * GNU info directory index is up-to-date. ----- wac root # emerge -uDpv world These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies ...done! [ebuild U ] media-libs/freetype-1.3.1-r4 [1.3.1-r3] +nls -tetex 0 kB
It suddenly works after emerging app-shells/bash-3.0-r7, sys-apps/baselayout-1.11.4 and sys-apps/sysvinit-2.85-r1. Not sure what was the cause. *confused*
