If you use everything instead of world, it will solve the problem.  world only 
affects the packages specifically listed in the world file.

Subject: [paludis-user] Version bumps and removed ebuilds


Hi All,

There seems to me to be a bit of an issue when a slotted package ebuild is 
bumped and the the existing ebuild is removed (which is quite often the case 
with security bumps). The problem is that paludis won't bump that package as 
part of -i world (or universe), potentially leaving your system with known 
security issue.

I've been working around by it by running paludis -r and re-installing packages 
that are have the error "No longer exists in original repositories 'gentoo'" 
which will perform the bump.  The most recent package that I've noticed with 
this issue is dev-java/sun-jdk:1.5.

I *think* it's only an issue with slotted packages,  I couldn't find a bug 
report, and google was no help either.

Is this is a bug? or perhaps there's a non-obvious command line option that I 
need to use to get these packages bumped automatically?

Cheers,

Scott
