[gentoo-user] strangeness with emerge -uD world

[»Q«]

I'm using portage-2.1.4.4.

$ emerge -pqu world
[ebuild     U ] www-client/mozilla-firefox-3.0.1 [2.0.0.16]

but 

$ emerge -pqu --deep world

gives no output.  I've never seen --deep cause fewer updates.  What am
I missing?  I have EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--with-bdeps y" in make.conf,
and I don't know what more info to post.

Is Firefox in /var/lib/portage/world? If not, do you intend Firefox to
be a dependency? The only "legitimate" behavior I see is that Firefox
is a dependency for a package that is not part of your world.

Yeah, it is in the world file, and it does show up in bold with `emerge
-pu world`.

If the problem persists after you remove
EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--with-bdeps y", I'd file a bug.

I think I see now what caused this.  It happened after I added Fx 3.0.1
to package.keywords.

`emerge -u world` was pulling in mozilla-firefox-3.0.1 because it was
in world, but `emerge -uD world` was not pulling it in because I have
installed packages which have mozilla-firefox-2* as a dependency.

Now that I've installed mozilla-firefox-3.0.1, `emerge -uD world` wants
to downgrade me to 2.0.0.16, and `emerge -u world` doesn't see
anything to do.

What's the package that wants to downgrade to firefox 2?

I guess this happens because you have some package like yelp has dependecy
to the firefox-2.0.*, the solve this, you need set the USE flag like this:
# echo "gnome-extra/yelp xulrunner" >> /etc/portage/package.use
to make it independence with firefox, and then you can upgrade your
firefox freely.

$ equery depends mozilla-firefox
[ Searching for packages depending on mozilla-firefox... ]
app-misc/beagle-0.3.7-r1 (firefox? >=www-client/mozilla-firefox-1.5)
app-office/openoffice-2.4.1 (!xulrunner & firefox? =www-client/mozilla-firefox-2*)
media-video/vlc-0.8.6i (nsplugin & !xulrunner & !seamonkey? =www-client/mozilla-firefox-2*)
net-news/liferea-1.4.15 (!xulrunner & firefox? =www-client/mozilla-firefox-2*)
net-www/mplayerplug-in-3.45 (=www-client/mozilla-firefox-2*)
kazehahase-0.5.0 (=www-client/mozilla-firefox-2*)

As Zhou Rui says, I could fix this by adding xulrunner to the use flags
for openoffice, vlc, and liferea.  I think that would work for
mplayerplug-in also, at least if I move to mplayerplug-in-3.50 (~x86).

kazehahase may also be satisfied with xulrunner;  I'm not sure.  I'd
forgotten I had it installed, so I might as well just get rid of it.
