 |
|
I installed Gentoo this weekend and has sofar been very pleased with the results. Never has my computer worked this well with linux before (tried both Debian & Redhat). However, today, I tried to do:
| Code: | root@slartibartfast portage # emerge --pretend update
These are the packages that I would merge, in order.
Calculating dependencies !!! Couldn't find match for update; aborting.
root@slartibartfast portage # emerge update
Calculating dependencies !!! Couldn't find match for update; aborting.
root@slartibartfast portage #
|
And as you can see, it didn't work at all. It seems like it thinks "update" is a package and not a special option.
Can anyone shed any light on this issue?

Ah! That seems to do the trick, but I think the man should be rewritten, since it says:
| Code: | update
"emerge update" updates the system packages (those listed in /etc/make.profile/packages) to their current ver-
sions . It is always a good idea to perform an "emerge --pretend update" first just so that you know what
emerge will be doing. Adding the --world flag causes emerge to update ALL installed packages to their current
versions. |
Ohwell, now I know
