Description Andre Hinrichs 2004-04-27 03:09:26 UTC
I just did a 'emerge -e world' and saw by doing 'ls -lat /var/tmp/portage' that
not all installed versions all various packages have been updated.
The system is clean, means, 'emerge depclean' does not want to delete anything.
For instance, 'etcat -v python' says:

[ Results for search key           : python ]
[ Candidate applications found : 5 ]

 Only printing found installed programs.

*  dev-lang/python :
        [   ] 2.1.3-r1 (2.1)
        [   ] 2.2.2 (2.2)
        [  I] 2.2.3-r5 (2.2)
        [  I] 2.3.3 (2.3)
        [M~ ] 2.3.3-r1 (2.3)

So, there are two different versions of python installed on my system. This may
be ok, but 'emerge -e world' does only update version 2.3.3.

This appears only for packages, where more than one version is installed.
So, either the not updated version is no longer required and should be deleted by 'emerge depclean', or the package is required and should be updated by 'emerge -e world'.

Here is a list of installed package versions which were not updated by the last
'emerge -e world' command:

gtkglarea-1.99.0
db-3.2.9-r9
python-2.2.3-r5
docbook-sgml-dtd-4.2
docbook-sgml-dtd-4.0-r1
docbook-sgml-dtd-4.1-r1
docbook-sgml-dtd-3.0-r1


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge -e world
2.ls -lat /var/tmp/portage

Comment 1 Gregorio Guidi (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-04-27 05:48:49 UTC
Probably one of the consequences of bad SLOT handling: bug 4698.
Comment 2 Andre Hinrichs 2004-04-27 07:32:14 UTC
hmm... after reading the whole report of bug 4698 I think it's most likely the
same. It's a pity that they stopped discussing it, since the bug is not fixed yet.
Is there a chance to reactivate the discussion?
Are dependencies to specific SLOTs introduced/implemented?

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 47921 ***
Comment 4 Andre Hinrichs 2004-04-28 01:36:04 UTC
I don't think, that this is a duplicate of bug 47921.
By now, I'll not reopen it before any comments have been arrived.
I would agree to mark this as a duplicate of bug 4698.
