--update (-u) only covers newer potrage versions, not simply change use flags. --newuse covers changed use flags, but no other upadates. In additon world only includes package in the world file, and only dependencies if the package itself needs to be recompiled, unless --deep (-D) is provided.. 'emerge -u world' only covers package in world that have been updated, and not necessarily their dependencies. You should make sure and include --deep (-D) and possbly --newuse to update all fo your packages. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
