$ emerge -e --deep world -p|wc && wc /var/cache/edb/world
177 702 7330
54 54 1012 /var/cache/edb/world
I think "approximately the correct ratio" are good words to describe this
relationship. It looks like one might average between 0 & 4 dependencies per
package, which sounds about right. This doesn't allow for emerge messages
("these are the packages I would install").
We still haven't addressed the OP's (Mr Kenworthy) original issue - `emerge
-ed world` on his system wants to install less than 135 packages for the 608
in his world file. Unless he has some non-unique entries in his world file.
IMO he really needs to post that, if he wants to find out what's wrong.
OTOH, `emerge -pve `cat /var/cache/edb/world`` will probably recompile all
the packages on his system using the new optimisations in his make.conf,
which seems to have been his original intention.
Stroller.
