As shown below, why wouldn't "emerge -u world" pick up the update available for gdm?
Actually, I think it is probably because it is not listed in /var/lib/portage/world so I guess I am actually wondering why it wouldn't be listed there? Obviously my system knows gdm is installed but how does it know this? I guess I was always under the impression that everything I installed would be placed in /var/lib/portage/world. Obviously not. I know I can edit that file and add gdm dut that doesn't really answer my question. I am sure this is a minor issue that I just can't find in the man pages but I am trying to 1) learn something that I am obviously missing 2) determine if there are any other updates that "emerge -Du world" might be missing.
