Actually, as you point out, my answer was in the emerge page all along. The man page states that emerge generates a list of packages which it expects to be installed by checking the system package list and the world file. Which brings me to my final questions...where is this package list? Is it, as one person already stated, simply the list of directories, etc. below /var/lib/pkg? And if it is, then how does one do an "emerge -Du" on the package list, not just the world list, thereby updating EVERYTHING on your system? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
