- Update the local portage tree
root# emerge --sync
- Check for updates in the entire system.
root# emerge -pvuDN world
This is equivelant to
root# emerge --pretend --verbose --update --deep --newuse world
- If you are ok to update the entire system, do
root# emerge -vuDN world
Otherwise, you can choose to update only the packages you want, by doing "emerge -v package"
- Check for packages that are not associated with any explicitly merged packages:
root# emerge --depclean -pv
- If you ok to let emerge to take care of clean out the deprecated packages, do
root# emerge --depclean
Otherwise you can remove the package one by one by doing "emerge -C package"
- Fix the broken dependency by doing:
root# revdep-rebuild
- Sometimes you may need to run revdep-rebuild a couple more time, till there is no more error.
