Ok, I'll be the first to admit that I don't know much about using portage beyond the most basic minimal commands. This seems to fall under the "used to work" category.
In the past, I've used a "emerge system" and "emerge world" to update to newer versions of installed software. Usually also with a "--pretend" to see beforehand what it's going to do. Now if I run "emerge --pretend system" or "emerge --pretend world" it comes up with no updates to install. If I add an "--update" to the command, it finds the updates correctly. Is this a syntax change or just a matter of a deprecated command/default behavior? Eric -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
