 world file quite empty... Hallo Ng! I'm quite new to gentoo. Today I started my first world update. But when looking into my worldfile in /var/lib/portage/world it shows me only about 10 files. I definitly merged more than 10 packages... I also never did anything with this file befor. I know there is a option to prevent portage to add a package to the world file, but I never used anything like this - afaik. So any ideas where my worldfiles entry have gone? Or how to get them back? Good night from Vienna, Andreas Diendorfer      |

Or how to get them back? Probably nowhere. The world file only contains references to packages that you explicitly install i.e. "emerge links" will only put links into your world file and not any of it's dependancies. I have 43 entries in the world file on my mail server of which at least two are there because I re-emerged something that's a dependancy to something else and forgot the --oneshot flag and some others are tests that I can remove. Thanks for giving me something to do this weekend. ;-) -- Andy. |

Yes, I know. But I defenitly emerged more than this 10 packages! Like xmms, xine and other desktop stuff! And I really don't have any idea where the entrys could have gone... Andreas |

| Re: world file quite empty... - found solution! Hi! I found a solution to regenerate my world file form portage log. I ran regenworld and it worked for me!

You could try 'emerge -p depclean' to see if anything that it wants to remove should be in the world file. If you find anything that you specifically want installed (not libraries and such), add it back to the world file and run the command again. Repeat until your world file is as it should be. -- PeKaJe If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried. |
