Re: [gentoo-user] packages needs to be reemerged

Hello,

When running emerge as this,

# emerge -pv python

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R   ] dev-lang/python-2.2.3-r5  +ncurses +gdbm +readline 
-tcltk +berkdb -build +doc +ssl

I see that python is not new, but needs to be reemerged. After doing 
this, I still get the R, asking to reemerge python.
How can I find out why I am supposed to reemerge the package and why, 
in this particular case, reemerging python does not fix it?

Thank you in advance,
cheers

I believe the R tells you that if you issue the same emerge command 
(without -p) that it will re-emerge.  It is not telling you that it 
NEEDS to re-emerge, it's telling you that that is what you asked it to do.

Try using emerge to update a package.  Then, if there is no update, you 
will be told there is nothing to do (emerge -puv...)

Cheers,
Kevin
