I found in the FAQ (sorry, should have read it before) that the line should be
emerge --pretend --update world
but it doesn't work.. (i know about the pretend flag), but my machine tells me the following:
These are the packages that I would merge, in order.
Calculating world dependencies \
!!! Error: couldn't find match for : in net-www/mozilla-1.0-r3
What now ?? |

Try doing an emerge -up system first, and see if there's a newer version of portage available.

You may want to check out this thread.
Updating portage will probably help. |
