Hi, i often stumble around this and don't understand why emerge doesn't want to update all packages even when specified --deep (-D): # emerge -pv -uDN world|grep dhcp # emerge -pv dhcpcd These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

are the package listed in the world list? Do you ever (by mistake) install a program with -u or --oneshot?
I use -1 (oneshot) often. But this should only prevent world file being updated - with --deep this should make no difference.
(In reply to comment #1) > are the package listed in the world list? sorry, can't say atm. emerged dhcpcd without "-1" one hour ago and therefore it's in the world file _now_, but dunno if it was already in there.
Most likely you have installed dhcpcd with -u or -1 flag. That way, world file is not ajour, and that happens. Seen other users do that mistake too. emerge -uD world scans all packages in world list for depencies, and all packages below that point for updates. Untracked packages is not supposed to be affected by this, since a user might have done this on purpose on a package the user don't want to get installed via world list. Please close bug, and let another REOPEN if it turns out that the package was in world list or on a depency via world list.
(In reply to comment #3) > sorry, can't say atm. emerged dhcpcd without "-1" one hour ago and therefore it's in the world file _now_, > but dunno if it was already in there. Closing this bug, as there is no chance to find out what went wrong here. Besides this dhcpcd issue, you should be aware that world != all, so even emerge -uD world won't upgrade *all* packages on your system, it will omit stale dependencies of already unmerged ebuilds, etc. There are quite a few duplicate bugs about this.
I have noticed this same problem of late with emerge -Du world and packages are in my world file. oe example the 2.6.12-r6 kernel has been made stable and the above command did not update it but emerge -Du gentoo-sources did update it.
Once again I did an emerge -Du world and it did not upgrade all packages as kopete-3.4.1-r1 was available and was not upgraded, I had to use emerge -Du kopete. I think this bug should be re opened until a reason is found for the cause of this. kopete was in my world file and I do not use != all.

Baselayout is in system...World = system + world file, so that is covered. > Please investigate this further since there is 100% a bug. Feature request for an "All" target perhaps, not entirely a bug. However it still could be one. What you need to do is figure out what you have installed that brought in sash and setserial. Maybe they really are orphaned packages, maybe there is a bug.
sash and setserial system used to be in system some time ago but have been removed/replaced since then.
Doesn't emerge --depclean remove those packages for you?
It should, I guess the OP hasn't run --depclean for while (if ever).
Closing due to old age
Hi, I have this issue at the moment with virtual/perl-Module-Build.

It is a rare case which is triggered by buildtime dependencies being updated for a package that you have previously installed. In cases like this, the installed package assumes the new dependencies due to the issue discussed in bug #239006, comment #4.
