Description Philipp Morger 2002-07-04 17:18:13 UTC
Hi there

I just discovered, that there are packages with different versions (Sometimes
ver mintor differences like just -r1) which have different package-groups

see this:

*  net-dns/bind-tools
      Latest version Available: 9.2.1
      Latest version Installed: [ Not Installed ]
      Homepage: http://www.isc.org/BIND/bind9.html
      Description: 
      bind tools: dig, nslookup, and host
 
*  net-misc/bind-tools
      Latest version Available: 9.1.3-r1
      Latest version Installed: 9.1.3-r1
      Homepage: http://www.isc.org/BIND/bind9.html
      Description: 
      bind tools: dig, nslookup, and host

so, I couldn't figure out how to update this package in a "sane way"... I guess
this is due some migration in the package tree... but emerge dosn't know of this
and so doesn't install the new version. On my little test-system it's quite easy
to see such things... but on bigger systems it's pain to check each package if
theres a newer version in another package-tree.

Please not, I read the docu, but I'm quite new to gentoo, so if I missed
something - please give me a pointer.

Thanks
Philipp

Hi Phillipp,

If you do:

emerge --clean rsync

you will find that old things disappear from your tree :)
