[gentoo-user] "emerge --update --deep --newuse world" fails to update all packages

[Erik]

I did "emerge --update --deep --newuse world" and it says:
Calculating world dependencies... done!
 >>> Auto-cleaning packages...

 >>> No outdated packages were found on your system.


But it seems like it is wrong about "No outdated packages were found on 
your system.", because when I run "emerge -p world" it says:

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

Calculating world dependencies... done!
[ebuild     U ] media-gfx/digikam-0.9.2 [0.9.1] LINGUAS="-fa% -nds%"
[blocks B     ] media-plugins/digikamimageplugins (is blocking 
media-gfx/digikam-0.9.2)


So it seems like media-gfx/digikam is outdated despite what "emerge 
--update --deep --newuse world" said. I just wonder how much sense this 
behaviour makes.

It seems like something that you have installed depends on
digikam-0-9.1 so the deep world update pulled that in instead of the
new version. You can use the --debug option if you want to examine
the dependency strings to see which package pulled in the lower version.

That package depending on digikam-0.9.1 would be digikamimageplugins.

The output of emerge indicates that digikam-0.9.2 cannot be installed 
because you have digikamimageplugins installed. In this case, this is 
because the plugins have been merged into digikam itself ( see 
http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php/DigikamImagePlugins?content=16082 
), so you can simply unmerge digikamimageplugins and rerun the update.
Blocks can usually be resolved by unmerging an offending package. Do 
that with care, however, or you'll do something like the OP of the 
recent 'emerge can not work !' thread :-)
