+Why is it that emerge does not update all packages? + + +

+By default, the dependency graph may not include some packages. For example, +it will not include any packages that are listed in the output of +emerge --pretend --depclean. It will also not include any build time +dependencies for installed packages or binary packages. If you would like to +include such build time dependencies even though they are not strictly +required, use --with-bdeps=y. You can set +EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--with-bdeps=y" in /etc/make.conf if +you would like this option to be enabled by default. +If you would like a specific package to be updated in any case, you can use +emerge --noreplace <atom> to have it added to the world set. +

+

+After running emerge --deep --with-bdeps=y world, it is a good idea to +use emerge --pretend --depclean to see if there are any packages that +it would remove. If that command shows a package that you would like to keep, +use emerge --noreplace <atom> to have it added to the world set. +

+When you use emerge --depclean to remove unwanted packages, it is +a good idea to run revdep-rebuild (from the gentoolkit package) +afterwards. +Run man emerge to view the manual page which documents all +emerge options. + + +
