 |
|
Hi everybody...
After a general upgrade, everything went ok. No errors compiling New and Upgraded packages.
When i check if an upgrade still needed, seems to be that all packages are upgraded: | Code: | asimov / # emerge -upv world
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
Total: 0 packages, Size of downloads: 0 kB |
But when i check for every package installed on the system, two packages still needs an upgrade: | Code: | asimov / # emerge -upev world
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild R ] .....
[ebuild R ] .....
[ebuild R ] .....
[ebuild U ] app-arch/cabextract-1.4 [1.3] USE="-extra-tools" 218 kB
[ebuild R ] .....
[ebuild R ] .....
[ebuild R ] .....
[ebuild U ] dev-lang/swig-2.0.2 [1.3.40-r1] USE="pcre%* -ccache -doc" 4,980 kB
[ebuild R ] .....
[ebuild R ] .....
[ebuild R ] .....
Total: 707 packages (2 upgrades, 705 reinstalls), Size of downloads: 5,197 kB |
There is no problem at all. I can upgrade the packages doing: | Code: | | asimov / # emerge -1b app-arch/cabextract dev-lang/swig |
But this is not a normal situation. The system must upgrade all packages without extra human actions.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

You will most likely want to be using `emerge -DuN world`, this updates packages in world, their dependencies, and any packages that have had changes to USE flags.
This still won't update every package all the time, although it will update anything that matters to update. You can pull in a few more by using `emerge -DuN --with-bdeps y world`, but the bdeps option is rarely needed (if at all for most users). |

| Code: | | emerge -upDNv world |
still says that no upgrades needed.
| Code: | | emerge -upeDNv world |
still says that those two packages needs an upgrade.
So, the "finest eye" seems to be the -e option.
It is not the big deal anyway, i just upgraded "manually" the two packages.
As you said, for some reason "-uDN" won't update every package all the time.
Thanks a lot for the answer, mikegpitt.

| Try to add "--with-bdeps y" to the emerge command, and read about that option in the emerge man page. |
