Hello list, me again :-(
(Apologies if I'm trying your patience - my own is wearing pretty thin.)
I've discovered a problem in portage on the same Atom mini-server as I've
mentioned here recently.
# emerge -epv world
--->8
Total: 329 packages (329 reinstalls), Size of downloads: 595,566 kB
# emerge -epvk world
--->8
Total: 240 packages (240 reinstalls, 240 binaries), Size of downloads: 0 kB
# emerge -epv world > list
# emerge -epvk world > listk
# diff list listk
...merely shows the contents of list, then the contents of listk, so clearly
the packages are being evaluated in a different order.
# find /usr/portage/packages -type f | wc
330 330 17879
(The extra file is /usr/portage/packages/Packages, i.e. not a portage package.)
# alias emerge
-bash: alias: emerge: not found
How is it possible for portage to emerge packages differently when it's
installing from packages?
