However, I have a script that runs "emerge sync" and "emerge -p world" every night and another one that runs "emerge -puD world" every Saturday. I am currently completely up to date on these except libxml wants to be updated on "-uD". So, how do I wind up with 17 packages that need to be updated? Hmm, perhaps these are all packages on my system that are neither in my world file nor depdencies of stuff in my world file? Would that then make them orphaned? And theoretically safe to delete? How does one find out if a specific package is required by any other packages again? b PS: to the O.P... you can also subscribe to "gentoo-announce@lists.gentoo.org". I am and have a mail filter route it into a glsa folder (it's 99.999% glsa anyway). -- gentoo-server@gentoo.org mailing list
