I think Portage does not consider packages that are not in your world file, if the update is on world (or system). To overcome this, I wrote a little script, called update_orphans.sh. Here it is: <-------cut-----------> update_orphans.sh <----------cut-------------> #!/bin/sh eix -u | gawk '/^\[U\] / { print $2; }' | xargs -r emerge -v1uD exit $? <-------cut-----------><--------cut------><----------cut-------------> I run it immediately after the main emerge, when I have rsync'ed the Portage tree. -- Regards, Dave [RLU #314465] ====================================================================== dwn...@ntlworld.com (David W Noon) ======================================================================
