Actual Results: corneille xfree # emerge -u world Calculating world dependencies |corneille xfree # corneille xfree # emerge -pu world These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies |corneille xfree # Expected Results: Either a mention that no package needs updated such as corneille xfree # emerge -pu system These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating system dependencies ...done! -- Or a list of package that need to be updated. As it seems that emerge -pu system works fine, I'm including the world file content plus emerge info. corneille xfree # emerge info Portage 2.0.47-r7 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.2, glibc-2.3.1-r2) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.19-gentoo-r9 i686 Pentium III (Coppermine) GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.oregonstate.edu/pub/gentoo http://distro.ibiblio.org/gentoo " CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/3.1/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" PKGDIR="/mnt/network/packages/gentoo/dell_gx110" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" USE="x86 oss apm avi crypt cups encode gif jpeg libg++ mikmod mmx mpeg ncurses nls pdflib png quicktime spell truetype xml2 xmms xv zlib gdbm berkdb slang readline arts svga tcltk java mysql sdl gpm tcpd pam libwww ssl perl python esd imlib oggvorbis mozilla cdr scanner X qt kde gtk -gnome alsa -3dnow xml -opengl sse -tetex mozsvg moznoirc moznomail -mozcalendar -mozp3p -mozxmlterm -motif ldap" COMPILER="gcc3" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe" CXXFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" MAKEOPTS="-j2" AUTOCLEAN="yes" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" FEATURES="sandbox buildpkg userpriv usersandbox ccache" world file: net-analyzer/ethereal net-analyzer/net-snmp app-text/docbook-sgml-dtd app-arch/rpm dev-libs/libxml media-sound/alsa-utils net-www/netscape-flash app-shells/bash-completion app-admin/mirrorselect dev-perl/AxKit dev-util/insight dev-libs/libxslt app-text/sgmltools-lite dev-perl/mod_perl dev-python/PyXML dev-perl/XML-Parser dev-db/phpmyadmin app-text/jadetex app-text/xhtml1 app-admin/kemerge net-im/kopete app-text/html401 sys-apps/ipchains media-libs/alsa-lib app-admin/kportage net-fs/samba app-text/docbook-xml-dtd app-doc/kdelibs-apidocs net-misc/dhcp app-text/openjade net-www/apache app-crypt/newpg app-admin/gentoolkit app-crypt/pinentry app-editors/kxmleditor media-plugins/alsa-xmms app-dicts/aspell-fr app-doc/doxygen kde-base/kdemultimedia dev-util/ccache dev-java/blackdown-jdk app-text/sgml-common dev-util/strace app-i18n/kde-i18n-fr net-misc/vnc sys-kernel/gentoo-sources app-doc/qt-docs dev-lang/mono app-admin/logrotate app-admin/gkrellm kde-base/kdeartwork dev-util/kdoc app-text/docbook-dsssl-stylesheets kde-base/kdesdk net-mail/sendmail app-editors/quanta kde-base/arts dev-libs/libxml2 net-ftp/kbear app-text/docbook-sgml media-libs/libpng app-dicts/aspell-en dev-util/valgrind net-irc/konversation net-analyzer/tcpdump app-text/acroread dev-db/mysql kde-base/kdepim app-crypt/aegypten x11-base/xfree x11-libs/qt media-sound/lame kde-base/kdelibs dev-perl/Mail-SpamAssassin dev-util/kdevelop kde-base/kdeadmin net-mail/procmail sys-devel/distcc sys-devel/prelink dev-libs/libgcrypt sys-apps/xinetd net-misc/netkit-rsh kde-base/kdebase sys-apps/lilo app-admin/gentoo-stats media-gfx/gimp app-text/docbook-xml-simple-dtd app-i18n/kde-i18n-de dev-util/cvs app-crypt/gpgme app-admin/klogtool net-www/phoenix-bin app-text/docbook-sgml-utils net-p2p/qtella net-www/mozilla media-sound/alsa-driver app-text/docbook-xsl-stylesheets app-sci/zetagrid dev-libs/openssl dev-util/kcachegrind app-crypt/gnupg kde-base/kdenetwork dev-php/mod_php app-crypt/kgpg dev-util/xxdiff dev-util/lintool sys-kernel/colubris-sources app-text/aspell app-text/recode net-print/cups net-misc/ntp kde-base/kdeutils app-text/htmltidy dev-java/blackdown-jre sys-cluster/openmosix-user
