When I do 'emerge -pv --deep --newuse world' not all packages are stated which can be updated. See example below. ==> Hum - I know this is very awkward topic. So if I understood something wrong or am in any other way the reason for this problem: PLEASE DO NOT SHOOT ME ! <== Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -pv --deep --newuse world 2. emerge -pv --deep --newuse hal Actual Results: Some packages which may be updated are not shown. (One package whichis grub seems not installed at all - wonder how it disappears each time after booting my system :-O Expected Results: show existing (and make) update (possible) by using 'world' Maybe I'm blind - but I can not find 1) hal 2) mc 3) grub (wich IS installed) in the 'emerge -p world' result below. magic atti # emerge -pv --newuse --deep world These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies ...done!
