OK since there are world file experts out there..
A while back I was playing around with cvs and svn versions of kde, long story
short they are there anymore, and as far as I can tell the files are gone,
but portage thinks they are still there which really screws up my
revdep-rebuild and emerge depclean's. I can't even get rid of them in kuroo,
in fact kuroo shows the files are still installed?
how do I get rid of these "ghosts"
Well, if portage thinks a package is installed, then normally you can simply
unmerge it. If the unmerge fails for some reason (normally it won't fail),
then you can manually remove it from the /var/db/pkg database, but it will
leave behind orphaned files.
