Sorry if my response sounded rude. It wasn't meant to...it was genuine surprise and confusion! I think you want "emerge -Duvp world". Using 'system' only looks at upgrading a small subset of all packages. And without the 'D' (--deep) option, emerge only considers at things in the world (or system) file...not their dependancies. So to get an update of everything, you need "emerge --deep --update --pretend --verbose world" If you haven't done that in a long while, be a bit careful...and plan a weekend for the upgrade. It will be a huge number of packages to emerge. You could also just specify the --deep option for updating mozilla, although again, the number of things to update may surprise you. If you have any more trouble with it, try posting the output of "emerge --deep --pretend --tree --verbose mozilla freetype xorg-x11". And don't be afraid to ask us for advice or feedback. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
