That was it! Thanks, Neil! I was testing with "emerge -C tcpdump ; emerge tcpdump". After your mail i tried "emerge -1 media-fonts/font-adobe-100dpi" and I got mail. Now here goes my next question: is there a way to get via email the portage output for all packages? Let me explain what I'm trying to do. I want to automate "emerge --sync && emerge -DuNv world" with a cron job and to receive mails for the portage activities. I really don't need all the gcc output. I only need the portage "info warn error" messages in order to know if I have to do "dispatch-conf", if some package has failed and if there is some important note about changes in the structure/functionality of a given package. Is there a "gentoo way" to achieve this functionality or I have to do it "my way"? -- Best regards, Daniel -- [email protected] mailing list
