If a deep @system @world upgrade with --with-bdeps=y does not upgrade the packages, then I think that they are either unnecessary packages that should be depcleaned, or they should go into the world file. This update_orphans.sh script is nice and I used a similar one when I had the problem that a world update did not work due to blockers or something, but normally it should not be necessary. And I believe these problems should better be fixed another way. > For me it does try to update the same packages as --with-bdeps, but it > tries to pull in like 39 new packages. > > How and where have you integrated with-bdeps in make.conf? From /usr/share/portage/config/make.conf.example: # EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS allows emerge to act as if certain options are # specified on every run. Useful options include --ask, --verbose, # --usepkg and many others. Options that are not useful, such as --help, # are not filtered. #EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="" I have it set like this: EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--with-bdeps y" Wonko
