Well, actually thats not that uncommon.
first of all (some people will disagree with me on this)
# emerge -avuDN world
does a much more through job, because it not only checks the packages
you have installed, but all the dependancies to make sure they are up
to date.. for example gtk+ is a dependancy of gaim.. so when it checks
to see if gaim is uptodate, it would also check gtk+ to see if it is
uptodate.
Secondly..
# regenworld
run that command occassionally as sometimes things that get emerged
for whatever reason are not part of the world file AND not a direct
dependancy of something and so the emerge -avuDN world would not check
-- running this command will check and add these entries to the world
file so they will be included with updates.
I hope this helps, btw this doesnt belong in -dev, but its not a big
deal..
Regards, Andrew
