I just tried again: So an emerge -uDNvt @system @world brings me: >>> No outdated packages were found on your system.
You should try it with --with-bdeps=y like it says in the faq here: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/portage/doc/faq.xml Also, check if `emerge -p --depclean` shows any packages to remove. Those ones will not supposed to be updated by @system @world (you should remove them).
Yes, I have the same problem. So I have to downgrade portage to 2.2_rc33. I have tested that rc35 - rc38 all have this problem. $ emerge --sync $ emerge -Dvn world system -p After the two commands above, I can get lots of packages to be updated if use rc33, but get none if use >=rc_35 I don't know why???
I forget this: $ cat /etc/portage/modules portdbapi.auxdbmodule = portage.cache.sqlite.database I use sqlite for portage cache db.
(In reply to comment #3) > $ emerge -Dvn world system -p Try: emerge -uDNptv --with-bdeps=y @system @world
(In reply to comment #3) > $ emerge -Dvn world system -p You need to use -u/--update now, since bug #275945.

But that patch is adding an option --avoid-update, which in effect turns off --update (right?). I don't see why --update now needs to be explicit when using --deep and --newuse.
(In reply to comment #8) > But that patch is adding an option --avoid-update, which in effect turns off > --update (right?). I don't see why --update now needs to be explicit when > using --deep and --newuse. The --avoid-update option got removed and it became the default behavior.
Shouldn't this bug be closed? I'm just reading up on some bugs before trying out the current RC and this sounds like it's solved.
