[gentoo-user] checking local packages against portage
Recently I found out that I had an old package avifile installed on my system but it was no longer in portage. How to check packages that are installed on my system but are no longer available in portage (so I can remove them)? -- #Joseph -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

For some reason an application avifile was left on my system but no longer in portage. When I tried to run revdep-rebuild it gave me an error message, so I was forced to remove it manually. -- #Joseph -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
