Allowing this to go removes the ->new one, which overwrote many of the old files, leaving the ->package useless. Second issue is that it sometimes, when ->removing an old version, removes files that had been updates ->with the install of a new version. Re-emerging fixes the ->problem, obviously. -> ->I'm trying to be careful, I have an old version of GCC ->installed, and I'd like to clean it, but I don't want to ->risk removing the new files. Is there any way to see, ->exactly, what files will be removed? Is this a known issue, ->and is there anything I can do to repair the database? -> ->/jgt
Just to make sure, you positive you havent emerged stuff w/ unstable ~x86 in your make.conf, then reverted back to the stable ~arch setting, which would clean the newer files instead of the older? kev -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
