Description Jason Huebel (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-06-04 16:26:48 UTC
"emerge -pvDu world" doesn't show all available updated packages.  For instance, here is what I currently get when running that command:

jhuebel@jason64 jhuebel $ emerge -pvDu world

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating world dependencies ...done!
[ebuild     U ] sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.6 [2.4.26] -build  0 kB
[ebuild     U ] sys-libs/glibc-2.3.4.20040602 [2.3.3_pre20040529] -build -erandom -hardened -makecheck +multilib +nls -nptl -pic  13,398 kB

Total size of downloads: 13,398 kB


But I know for a certainty that there are other packages that need to be updated. For instance, "emerge -pv kde" gives this output:

jhuebel@jason64 jhuebel $ emerge -pv kde

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -pvDu world
2. emerge -pv kde
Actual Results:  
"emerge -pvDu world" doesn't display updated kde packages.

Expected Results:  
"emerge -pvDu world" should include the kde updates.

Comment 1 Jason Huebel (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-06-04 16:27:44 UTC
Marked this as major, since it's obviously missing significant updates. I only noticed this because I had a problem with krfb not working in kde 3.2.1 (I /thought/ I had already upgraded to kde 3.2.2).
Comment 2 Sven Wegener gentoo-dev 2004-06-04 17:26:42 UTC
Packages that will be considered by portage when updating world have to be
placed in /var/cache/edb/world

If a package is not in /var/cache/edb/world and it is not a dependency of any
package in /var/cache/edb/world or its sub-dependencies, it won't be considered
by portage when updating world.

emerge -p depclean
will give you a list of packages which are not in /var/cache/edb/world and are
not dependencies of any package in /var/cache/edb/world

Could you check if kde-base/kde is listed in /var/cache/edb/world and if it
is not, add it and run "emerge -pvDu world" again to see it the package
updates appear now.
Comment 3 Marius Mauch (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-06-05 08:22:50 UTC
you're sure that you've kde in your world file ?
Comment 4 Nicholas Jones (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-06-09 16:58:18 UTC
Try running regenworld.
Comment 5 Nicholas Jones (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-06-21 03:38:14 UTC
No commentary. Old and closing.
Comment 6 Marius Mauch (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-01-11 11:01:05 UTC
Closing due to old age
