I think he understands that by now. His question is more like:
If eix tells me that an update to vigra is available, then why does emerge -uD
world not pick it up?
Yeah
That's the point what I want to say.
Fortunately, I can be understand it while I'm reading this thread.
Package "vigra" does not need on my system. So world doesn't contain that.
And I need to do emerge --depclean to remove packages like "vigra".
Keyworld was dependency. I could realize this If I did --depclean only one time.
It's a good answers in this thread although question was stupid.
THANKS.
sorcerer, what is your arch, and what is the outputs from 'eix -e vigra'
and 'emerge -pv media-libs/vigra'
