This is the command I use. If I use emerge -up world then emerge tells me it's going to remove all of 1.0.0rc2 and install 0.9.8. I've currently done emerge -C alsa-driver and have re-emerged alsa-driver using 'ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge =alsa-driver-1.0.0_rc2'. What seems *very* strange to me right now is that before I did this I executed the command 'ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -Up =alsa-driver-1.0.0_rc2' which to me says emerge only Updates for exactly the package alsa-drive-1.00_rc2' emerge tells me it's going to do something that looks like an emerge -uD world with a list of 25 items. Is this expected? It wasn't by me... Having now done the re-emerge, the command 'ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -Up world' says everything is fine and it doesn't need to do the other 24 items it was itching to do 5 minutes ago! > Another option is emerge -i > alsa-driver-0.98.ebuild which will fool portage into > thinking it's merged and then it will hush. I'll read about that. Thanks. I guess everything is fine now, but I don't understand why. (No response required. I spend a lot of my life in that state.) ;-) - Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
