Please attach your /var/lib/portage/world file.
Created attachment 64478 [details] portage world file OK. Here is the world file
remarkably, components like kdenetwork or acroread *which are present* in the world file where automatically updated with a previous emerge -uD world. Only some packages (kile, kdevelop) were not.
Lets stick with Kile and Kdevelop, how did you merge them? The old-style kde ebuild ( emerge kde ), the newstyle meta ebuilds? ( emerge kde-meta ) or did you use the single meta builds ( emerge kdevelop kate kile ....etc... ). Basically the issue here is why are some KDE apps in the world file where others are not. emerge -uD world is only going to handle applications that are present in the world file and their dependencies. We are looking for a bug where basically, applications were supposed to be added to world but were not.
Would you mind compressing your emerge.log ( gzip or bzip2 ) and then attaching it?
Created attachment 64606 [details] log of emerge OK. Here's the emerge log. emerge -uD world should update all packages, since it should update packages in the world file and packages which depend from them. And packages can only be installed as dependency or directly. Unfortunately, it seems that emerge -uD world does not update everything.
I can confirm that emerge -uD (same portage version) does not find all available updates. When I remerge packages because of changes in dependencies, I regularly find updates are available while emerge -uDp did not report them. This is particulary noticable when the output from esync (app-portage/esearch) lists packages being available as updates "[ U] category/name (version): description" but the subsequent emerge -vuaD world does not offer to update them. Btw, I don't use KDE at all (well, there is kdelibs of course) and I have seen emerge missing fresh packages from all kinds of categories. I have seen this (mis)behaviour on 3 different systems. Would you like me to upload the world files and emerge.log's for all three?

(In reply to comment #8) In this case, media-libs/netpbm was first merged as a dependency of x11-misc/ xscreensaver and is not in /var/lib/portage/world.

Another thought struck me: x11-misc/xscreensaver is not installed anymore now, while I still use media-libs/netpbm occasionally. I would therefore like to semi-automatically get the updates for media-libs/netpbm through emerge -uD world.
