Not exactly. I'm finding that emerge -K installs every package whose binpkg exists, regardless of whether it's installed in the system already. Emerge -k doesn't. Neither of them takes any notice of what packages are installed in the system, and I think they should. Well, that's not quite true. Emerge -k does only reinstall what's already there, but its checking for USE flag mismatch seems to be done regardless of that pre-existence. -- Regards, Peter.
