Here's what I usually run when updating the world. Long version: emerge --ask --update --deep --with-bdeps=y --newuse @world With '--with-bdeps=y' set in the file shown below: grep bdeps /etc/portage/make.conf EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--with-bdeps=y" Short version: emerge -avuND @world -a [--ask] -v [--verbose] -u [--update] -N [--newuse] -D [--deep]
