"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!

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).
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.
you're sure that you've kde in your world file ?
Try running regenworld.
No commentary. Old and closing.
