[gentoo-user] "emerge -DuvatN world" doesn't show all upgradeable packages

[Michael Schmarck <michael.schmarck@habmalnefrage.de>]

Hello.

Maybe someone can explain this:

$ sudo emerge -DuvatN world

These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

Calculating world dependencies... done!

Total: 0 packages, Size of downloads: 0 kB

Nothing to merge; would you like to auto-clean packages? [Yes/No] 

$ emerge -vpt kde-i18n

These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild     U ] kde-base/kde-i18n-3.5.9 [3.5.8] USE="-arts -debug kdeenablefinal xinerama" LINGUAS="-af -ar -az -bg -bn -br -bs -ca -cs -csb -cy -da de -el -en_GB -eo -es -et -eu -fa -fi -fr -fy -ga -gl -he -hi -hr -hu -is -it -ja -kk -km -ko -lt -lv -mk -mn -ms -nb -nds -nl -nn -pa -pl -pt -pt_BR -ro -ru -rw -se -sk -sl -sr -sr@Latn -ss -sv -ta -te -tg -th -tr -uk -uz -vi -wa -zh_CN -zh_TW" 20,860 kB 

Total: 1 package (1 upgrade), Size of downloads: 20,860 kB

In "prose": I have kde-i18n-3.5.8 installed. In tree, there's
an update available (kde-i18n-3.5.9). 

Why was that updatedable package not picked up, when I ran
emerge -DuvatN world? I also tried "emerge -Duvat world" - 
same effect.

How do I make emerge update all the installed packages, if
there's an update available?

Thanks,
Michael
