Forgot to show you my emerge --info, so here it is: Portage 2.0.51.19 (default-linux/x86/2005.0, gcc-3.4.3-20050110, glibc-2.3.4.20050125-r1, 2.6.11-gentoo-r6 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.11-gentoo-r6 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1500MHz Gentoo Base System version 1.6.10 Python: dev-lang/python-2.3.5 [2.3.5 (#1, Apr 18 2005, 19:36:25)] ccache version 2.4 [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.59-r6, 2.13 sys-devel/automake: 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.5, 1.4_p6, 1.6.3, 1.9.5 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r8 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.14 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium4 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium4 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.hamakor.org.il/pub/mirrors/gentoo/" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 jikes kdeenablefinal nls pam unicode video_cards_nvidia" Unset: ASFLAGS, CBUILD, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS that's not how world works try using --deep to get the results you're expecting He He´s using --deep (-D) well '--deep world' doesnt give you 'all packages', it just gets you a lot closer :) From my understanding, uD gets you ALL the packages, or at least that's what it should be. I mean, deep is kinda weird if it doesn't. Maybe some settings/flag i need to change somewhere. First time i've noticed it happenening, maybe anyone else has solved it? Well, I noticed this a few times and always solved it by running regenworld but IIRC vapier said the regenworld is not needed at all and this is a feature. ;-) Just did a regenworld. First time ever I run this script. The problem was NOT solved. Any other ideas/possible solutions/possible causes? Also, how could it be a feature, Jakub Moc. Is there any value in hiding a package from me this way? Or is it some other thing that causes it to act this way. when i emerge -pvuD world, I wanna see all my packages, that's kinda the purpose of this command IMO. it's not 'weird' that deep doesnt pick up everything, just not quite what most users expect world is a list of all packages you've manually emerged (`emerge glib` puts 'glib' into worl) world + deep is all the packages you've manually emerged and their dependencies it is certainly valid to have a package installed that is not in world and is not a dependency of a package in world ... for example, if you emerge something that pulls in a lot of dependent packages and then unmerge it (but dont unmerge the dependent packages), you will enter this state regenworld may resolve the state of your machine such that all packages that arent dependended on something are put into 'world' for your, but i dont know, ive never used it or looked at how it works either way, the behavior you describe is valid under the current description we place upon the meaning of the 'world' target (personally i'd like to see an 'all' target which refers to 'every package that is installed on the machine', but that's a somewhat-unrelated issue :p) Understood, thanks. |
