[gentoo-user] Why isn't libxslt updated by emerge world?

[gentoo-user] Why isn't libxslt updated by emerge world?

[Grant]

I'm synced up and emerge world doesn't want to emerge anything, but
python-updater wants to re-emerge an old version of libxslt which is
currently installed, which looks like it should have been updated via
emerge world:

# equery depends libxslt
[ Searching for packages depending on libxslt... ]
dev-lang/php-5.2.6-r2 (xsl? dev-libs/libxslt)
dev-libs/glib-2.16.3-r1 (doc? >=dev-libs/libxslt-1.0)

Can anyone explain this?

As you stated correctly: phython-updater wants *re*-emerge libxslt, 
because something, in this case phython, on which libxlst depends has 
changed.

There is no update of libxslt, so why sgould emerge -u world bother?

But there is:

# emerge -pv libxslt

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

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild     U ] dev-libs/libxslt-1.1.24 [1.1.20] USE="crypt python
-debug -examples%" 3,286 kB

That's the confusing part.

OK, did you call

emerge -avtDuN world?

Of course, that's the confusing part. :)

Did you notice this part?  -examples%  It appears to me that the USE 
flag has changed and that is why it is wanting to re-emerge it.  If you 
want to confirm this, run emerge -uvNp world and see if it shows up 
then.  You can replace the "p" with a "a" if you wish.  The "N" will 
pick up the USE flag change.

Hope that helps.

Maybe it is just a buildtime dependency, if you only have the doc 
USE-flag and not the xsl USE-flag enabled, this is very likely the 
cause.

I actually don't have doc or xsl USE explicitly enabled.  depclean
wants to remove libxslt, so I'm doing that.  It's confusing because
'equery depends libxslt' says php and glib depend on libxslt.  I guess
that's the buildtime dependency you're talking about?  Does that mean
the package only needs to be installed while php and glib and being
compiled, and can then be removed?

euse -i doc xsl
will give you info which is activated.

Remeber: php only depends on xsl when the use flag xsl is activated. the 
same goes for glib, and because it's only the doc use flag which 
activates it, I strongly believe libxslt is only needed to build the 
documentation, since I doubt there is a runtime dependency for 
documentation...

Perhaps libxslt isn't in world and isn't a dependency.
Did you try emerge --depclean   ?

Yeah, depclean did want to get rid of it, but 'equery depends' said it
was needed.  It's gone now though.
