Hi there,
I have a problem with portage being unable to unmerge some old packages. No
idea what do do about this. I already remerged portage, tried
emerge --emtadata and emerge --regen. Maybe someone of you knows what to
do? I would not like to dig into the portage source code...
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ emerge -atv --clean

Would you like to unmerge these packages? [Yes/No]
