Are you sure it isn't for a change in the use flags? Try an emerge -auvDN world and check if those packages aren't pretending to be re-emerged for a change in the use flags (yellow color...) I know and understand what you're talking about and its not that. I have done that and it shows nothing, furthermore, if you do a refresh packages or sometimes just a refresh update it will then remove the supposed upfates. I've contacted upstream about this.

Thanks for the report, I've launched RC1 without any report in some time :) This behaviour is normal: if you use extern utilities (such emerge new things, or sync) without reloading kuroo's DB, kuroo will only detect what *was* installed, and will not reflect changes, you need to update kuroo database. Anyway, kuroo will be rewritten from scratch (though kuroo website server died horribly :( ), so please, be patient, and feel free to email me of kuroo's problems until we can set another server. Thanks again, I understand what you are saying but strangely enough, kuroo is very proficient at picking up what is emerged through an external process. I have kuroo running full time and if I emerge a package in a terminal, it will show up in kuroos log page and also will show up in kuroo upon completion of the emerge. The problem I was trying to bring to your attention is that once in a while a package that was upgraded and is at the newest version just insists on being in the updates column until I do a refresh packages. Realistically, this isn't a big problem and has happened less and less, in fact it hasn't happened on any of my boxes in the last 2 or 3 weeks. |
