Hi all,
I'm trying to unmerge some packages. They all fail like this:
centaur ~ # emerge --unmerge arora
* This action can remove important packages! In order to be safer, use
* `emerge -pv --depclean <atom>` to check for reverse dependencies before
* removing packages.
www-client/arora
selected: 0.11.0
protected: none
omitted: none
>>> 'Selected' packages are slated for removal.
>>> 'Protected' and 'omitted' packages will not be removed.
>>> Waiting 5 seconds before starting...
>>> (Control-C to abort)...
>>> Unmerging in: 5 4 3 2 1
>>> Unmerging www-client/arora-0.11.0...
* The 'prerm' phase of the 'www-client/arora-0.11.0' package has failed
* with exit value -1.
*
* The problem occurred while executing the ebuild file named
* 'arora-0.11.0.ebuild' located in the '/var/db/pkg/www-
* client/arora-0.11.0' directory. If necessary, manually remove the
* environment.bz2 file and/or the ebuild file located in that directory.
*
* Removal of the environment.bz2 file is preferred since it may allow the
* removal phases to execute successfully. The ebuild will be sourced and
* the eclasses from the current portage tree will be used when necessary.
* Removal of the ebuild file will cause the pkg_prerm() and pkg_postrm()
* removal phases to be skipped entirely.
* Messages for package www-client/arora-0.11.0:
* The 'prerm' phase of the 'www-client/arora-0.11.0' package has failed
