What did I so badly wrong? You did nothing wrong, you just have the wrong idea about what portage is telling you. Step back and think about this for just a second. When you run 'emerge kde' you are asking portage to add new package to your system, and they will go in world. It will also show all new packages that will be installed due to DEPENDs. That's why ever line in that output starts with [ebuild N ] - they are new to your system. When you run 'emerge -pvuND world' you are asking portage to update your entire system, do a deep resolve looking into DEPENDS as well, and to take changed/added/removed USE flags into account as well. This will not add new packages as you didn't tell portage to install any new packages. Kinda obvious really... -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
