 |
|
The man page for emerge says:
| Code: | "emerge update" updates the system packages (those listed
in /etc/make.profile/packages) to their current versions .
It is always a good idea to perform an "emerge --pretend
update" first just so that you know what emerge will be
doing. |
Doesn't work for me:
| Code: | taplock root # emerge --pretend update
These are the packages that I would merge, in order.
Calculating dependencies !!! Couldn't find match for update; aborting.
taplock root # emerge update

taplock root # |
Reported as bug 2574.

It's not a bug in emerge -- it's a bug in the man page. The correct command is:
| Code: | | emerge --pretend --update |
Try that and you should find that it works as expected.
