from the output of esync this morning: [ U] sys-apps/setserial (2.17-r3): Configure your serial ports with it As you can see it correctly caught that setserial had an upgraded version available.

setserial is no longer in system, so it's no longer part of the world target, so it's ignored by -uD world.
<seemant> on my own box: emerge -Dup --tree world: <seemant> [nomerge ] app-text/a2ps-4.13c-r2 <seemant> [ebuild N ] dev-util/yacc-1.9.1-r2 <seemant> and *why* does yacc show up? <seemant> DEPEND=">=sys-devel/automake-1.6 <seemant> >=sys-devel/autoconf-2.57 <seemant> >=dev-util/gperf-2.7.2 <seemant> || ( >=dev-util/yacc-1.9.1 sys-dev/bison ) <seemant> in DEPEND, mind you <seemant> NOT in RDEPEND
And this is related how? world target == whatever you have specifically installed + system packages If a package is removed from "system packages" it won't be automagically added to "whatever you have specifically installed". From emerge's man page: --deep (-D) When used in conjunction with --update, this flag forces emerge to consider the entire dependency tree of packages, instead of checking only the immediate dependencies of the packages. It does not make any mention of any separation between build time dependencies and runtime dependencies. If you want to request that as a feature, then open a new bug.

`emerge -uDvp --newuse world` and you will likely see a lot of packages wanting to be recompiled. One of them will be media-video/ffmpeg with the imlib USE flag no longer being set. If that's not the case, file a new bug. Please stop reopening this one and posting completely irrelevant information.
