[gentoo-user] portage inconsistency?

[maxim wexler <blissfix@yahoo.com>]

Hi group,

At tail of emerge --sync its says now emerge portage.

So, emerge portage results in one package being
installed, portage, 61kb.

emerge -u portage lines up 5 or 6 packages plus
portage, 18Mb.

Went ahead and just did the one package, figuring
later I could do an emerge -u for the rest of it.

But this is what happens:

heathen@localhost ~ $ emerge -pv portage

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

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R   ] sys-apps/portage-2.1.2.9  USE="-build
-doc -epydoc (-selinux)" LINGUAS="-pl" 0 kB

Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0
kB

What I expected.

heathen@localhost ~ $ emerge -puv portage

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

Calculating dependencies... done!

Total: 0 packages, Size of downloads: 0 kB

So why doesn't it list the upgrade part now?

Maxim
