This will also update direct dependencies which may not be what you want. In general, use this option only in combination with the world or system target. --deep (-D) When used in conjunction with --update, this flag forces emerge to consider the entire dependency tree of packages, instead of checking only the immediate dependencies of the packages. As an example, this catches updates in libraries that are not directly listed in the dependencies of a package." 3. emerge -np `qpkg -I -nc` is my version of -uD which I checks for all installed packed including those are missed by -uD.
