Recently when updating my system with emerge -uD world, coreutils failed with the error: configure.ac:8: require Automake 1.8, but have 1.7.8 So, I checked and saw that indeed I do have automake-1.7.8, and 1.8.2 is available. At first I thought this was a missing dependency in the coreutils ebuild, but upon looking there I discovered that it does in fact have >=sys-devel/automake-1.8.2 as a DEPEND value. So, I experimented a bit and found some odd results: - emerge -upD world puts coreutils above automake in the update list - emerge -up world correctly puts automake first - emerge -upD coreutils and -up coreutils both handle it correctly as well So, it certainly appears that --deep is broken somewhere along the line with respect to dependency calculations. I can easily enough just emerge automake and go merrily along my way, but I thought I'd file this to alert the portage developers about the possible problem. If there is anything you want me to try or send let me know; I can hold off updating my system for the time being. emerge info: Portage 2.0.50-r1 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.3.2, glibc-2.3.3_pre20031222-r0, 2.6.2-mm1) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.2-mm1 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP Gentoo Base System version 1.4.3.13p1 distcc 2.12 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [enabled] ccache version 2.3 [enabled] Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.7.8 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O3 -mmmx -msse -m3dnow -mfpmath=sse -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -fforce-addr -funroll-loops -frerun-loop-opt" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /var/bind /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O3 -mmmx -msse -m3dnow -mfpmath=sse -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -fforce-addr -funroll-loops -frerun-loop-opt" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache distcc fixpackages sandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://gentoo.mirrors.pair.com" MAKEOPTS="-j8" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://backup/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow S3TC X aalib alsa apache2 avi berkdb bonobo crypt cups dvd encode faad flac foomaticdb gd gd-external gdbm gif gnome gnomedb gpm gtk gtk2 gtkhtml guile imagemagick imlib innodb java jpeg libwww mad matroska mikmod mmx mozilla moznoirc moznomail mpeg music mysql ncurses nocardbus nptl offensive oggvorbis openal opengl oss pam pdflib perl pic png postgres quicktime readline samba sdl spell sse ssl stencil-buffer tcltk tcpd threads tiff truetype usb vim-with-x wmf x86 xinerama xml2 xmms xosd xv zlib"

Dependencies are only recompiled when they are updated, not when you recompile things that are dependent on them. The latter would require Binary Compatability code that no one has written nor fleshed out yet, IIRC. > 3. Where's linux-headers? It's not listed. Should be.
