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 :)
