Will this not cause the package to be recorded in world?
I think you update a oneshotted package with `emerge -1 package` (just the same
as you used to install it in the first place).
This probably doesn't arise very often, as you probably won't be updating
oneshotted packages very often. --oneshot is fairly strictly a temporary
solution - to fulfil a virtual in a certain way or just for testing how a
package behaves with or without a graphics lib installed. If you want the
package updated then you should record it in world.
Stroller.
Way back when, --update did not record to the world file. That may have
changed but I sort of doubt it.
