It updated portage and a few other programs. I then wanted to check to see if anything was no longer needed by using --depclean -p. Well, I got this back: > root@smoker / # emerge -p --depclean > > * Always study the list of packages to be cleaned for any obvious > * mistakes. Packages that are part of the world set will always > * be kept. They can be manually added to this set with > * `emerge --noreplace `.

I get this: > root@smoker / # emerge -u --newuse --deep @system @world > Calculating dependencies... done! > >>> Auto-cleaning packages... > > >>> No outdated packages were found on your system. > root@smoker / # What gives here? Everything is up to date yet it then tells me something is not. Since portage updated itself and I saw this little info scroll by: > * If you're upgrading from a pre-2.2 version of portage you might > * want to remerge world (emerge -e world) to take full advantage > * of some of the new features in 2.2. > * This is not required however for portage to function properly. Does this mean I need to do a emerge -e world for --depclean to work? Seems a little extreme to me. This from a emerge -evp world: > Total: 888 packages (3 upgrades, 5 new, 1 in new slot, 879 > reinstalls), Size of downloads: 94,583 kB > Fetch Restriction: 1 package Then again, emerge -evp does show 5 new packages. I'm like that little puppet of Jeff Dunham's, 'what the he**'? Maybe I need to go back a version of portage. LOL Thoughts? I say thoughts cause I'm not sure there is a answer to this one. o_O Dale :-) :-) Oh, the new/upgrade/slot list: > [ebuild NS ] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.26-r3 [2.6.23-r8, > 2.6.25-r9] USE="-build -symlink" 48,452 kB > [ebuild N ] virtual/perl-Module-Build-0.28.08 0 kB > [ebuild N ] virtual/perl-ExtUtils-CBuilder-0.23 0 kB > [ebuild N ] virtual/perl-Archive-Tar-1.40 0 kB > [ebuild N ] virtual/perl-ExtUtils-ParseXS-2.19 0 kB > [ebuild N ] virtual/perl-IO-Zlib-1.09 0 kB > [ebuild U ] app-text/rarian-0.8.1 [0.8.0-r1] USE="-debug" 317 kB > [ebuild U ] www-client/seamonkey-1.1.13 [1.1.12] USE="crypt ipv6 > java ldap xprint -debug -gnome -mozdevelop -moznocompose -moznoirc > -moznomail -moznopango -moznoroaming -postgres -xforms -xinerama" > 37,166 kB > [ebuild U ] media-gfx/imagemagick-6.4.4.6 [6.4.0.6] USE="X bzip2 > corefonts%* jbig jpeg jpeg2k openmp%* perl png svg tiff truetype wmf > xml zlib -djvu -doc -fontconfig -fpx -graphviz -gs -hdri -lcms -nocxx > -openexr -q32 -q8 -raw%" 8,650 kB I knew someone would ask for that. ;-)
