DasGregor | Gentoo Tidbits - '--changed-deps' Emerge Flag @dasgregor | Uploaded 4 years ago | Updated May 14 2024
I did an emerge the other day and ran into an update issue. By chance I saw from the removal of 'virtual/pam' a comment about using --changed-deps if problems persist. This not only fixed my pam issue, but also fixed a few other application slot problems that I was having trouble with.
When '--changed-deps' was used with emerge, it caused 474 packages to get updated, but in the end all conflicts had been resolved. All in all I ended up compiling over 500 packages trying to fix conflicts, but it was the --changed-deps flag that made it all better.
