Hrm, you *don't* want to do this in this case. Again, these are things that have moved around in the portage tree, and if you have them installed, you *want* portage to apply the same changes to the package database. Otherwise you will never see updates for packages that move after you have installed them. > I have bandwidth issues;( This has nothing to do with bandwidth, or automatically updating the packages themselves. It is only moving stuff around in /var/db/pkg to keep it in sync with the portage tree. Emerge --update still works exactly like it did, just with the new package names. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
