Re: xfree emerge problem

One problem is that I just downloaded the entire system 2 days ago.  So
when I do an "emerge -u anything", it simply spits back
"Calculating dependencies ...done!
..."

Because there are no newer packages to update to.  I had already tried to
do this.  I also searched the bug archive and found no bugs claiming the
same error (the closest was a pipe error due to lacking memory...so
nothing that I could find that was close at all.)  I've searched google
and was preparing to jump into the make files (so much pain..oh so much
pain), but was hoping that there was a way to get around it without such
rampant hacking.  

That said, you could be totally right, and I might not know how to do this
update correctly.  All that I know, I read from the man pages and the
portage user manual, so I dont know that much about the working of it.

What confuses me most is that it seems like a problem that would come from
a misformed shell script, but it obviously works for the masses of gentoo
users, so I am left stumpted.

All that said, and problems aside, even without X or any graphics, I love
this distribution and the portage program is absolutely amazing.  Everyone
at gentoo is doing a fabulous job and deserve much thanks.  Thank you very
much for all of the hard work.  You are making many people very happy.

again, I send out a preemptive thank you,
Gabe
