When running `eix-test-obsolete' after update world and revdep-rebuild I get a list of 14 pkgs under the heading as listed below. What does this mean... I'm running ~x86 and have been for yrs so the ones that show `U' should have gotten updated during ... -vuD world.
root # emerge -vp dev-lang/nasm These are the packages that would be merged, in order: [...] [ebuild U ] dev-lang/nasm-2.02 [2.00] USE="-build -doc" 713 kB Shows it will be updated. So why is -vuD world missing this pkg (and the others)? Some.. maybe all show piles of dependencies and some ..(the ones I've grepped so far) do not appear in world file. I guess I don't understand how the system got these packages but appears not to know much about them. ========================================================== Final output of eix-test-obsolete" [...] Installed packages with a version not in the database (or masked): [U] dev-lang/nasm ([EMAIL PROTECTED]/02/08 -> (~)2.02): groovy little assembler [U] gnome-base/gconf (2.14.0(2)@06/20/06 -> (~)2.22.0): Gnome Configuration System and Daemon [U] gnome-base/gnome-keyring ([EMAIL PROTECTED]/14/06 -> (~)2.22.1): Password and keyring managing daemon [U] gnome-base/gnome-vfs (2.14.2-r1(2)@01/16/07 -> (~)2.22.0): Gnome Virtual Filesystem [U] gnome-base/libbonobo ([EMAIL PROTECTED]/20/06 -> (~)2.22.0): GNOME CORBA framework [U] gnome-base/libbonoboui ([EMAIL PROTECTED]/14/06 -> (~)2.22.0): User Interface part of libbonobo [U] gnome-base/libgnome ([EMAIL PROTECTED]/14/06 -> (~)2.22.0): Essential Gnome Libraries [U] gnome-base/libgnomeui ([EMAIL PROTECTED]/14/06 -> (~)2.22.1): User Interface routines for Gnome [U] gnome-base/orbit (2.14.0(2)@06/20/06 -> 2.14.12): ORBit2 is a high-performance CORBA ORB [U] kde-base/kiconedit (3.5.7(3.5)@11/18/07 -> (~)3.5.9): KDE Icon Editor [U] net-libs/libgssglue ([EMAIL PROTECTED]/07/07 -> 0.1-r1): exports a gssapi interface which calls other random gssapi libraries [D] www-apps/gallery (2.2.3(2.2.3)@10/08/07 2.2.4(2.2.4)@01/19/08 -> 1.5.3 (~)1.5.7 2.2.4): Web based (PHP Script) photo album viewer/creator [U] x11-misc/icon-naming-utils ([EMAIL PROTECTED]/20/06 -> 0.8.6): Utils to help with the transition to the new freedesktop.org naming scheme.
