Hi All, I am trying to unmerge KDE 3.4 using the script below and it comes up with an error. = for x in `ls /usr/portage/kde-base`; do if [ $x != CVS ]; then echo -n =kde-base/$x-3.4* fi done |xargs emerge -Cv = The error is: = # ./unmerge-kde.sh --- Couldn't find '=kde-base/akode-3.4*' to unmerge = How do I get over this problem? -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Well actually the big difference is that you are using the list of installed packages from the kde-base category whereas he is using the complete list of packages in /usr/portage/kde-base and assuming that everyone of them have a 3.4* version. He may not even have akode installed... -- Bo Andresen pgpmNRLLd0U7W.pgp Description: PGP signature

Ah yes, I missed that he was using /usr/portage instead of /var/db, it never occurred to me that anyone would try to do that :( I wasn't trying to use /usr/portage, I prefer to feed the currently installed packages to emerge --prune, but your method looks good too. -- Neil Bothwick Tribble math: * + * = *** signature.asc Description: PGP signature

This assumes that kde was the only package that he added to the world file. If
he wants to do something like this the following would make more sense:
# emerge --clean --verbose --ask `awk -F/ '$1~/^kde-base$/{print}' \
/var/lib/portage/world` emerge --depclean --verbose --ask \
revdep-rebuild --ignore --pretend -- --verbose
Also --unmerge instead of --clean (or --prune) would result in kde 3.5 to be
removed too.

Thank you all for your replies. I have not installed KDE 3.5 yet. I
am just trying to remove monolithic 3.4 first.

In that case you can replace --clean (or --prune) with --unmerge. You had a look at [1]? The original error was because you didn't have akode installed. /var/db/pkg contains only the packages you have installed whereas /usr/portage contains everything. equery --list outputs only what you have installed by default. Finally you should know that because kde is slotted you do not have to remove kde-3.4 before installing kde-meta-3.5. But you have to remove it before installing kde-meta-3.4. Monolithic and split packages block each other only within the same slot. In general it helps to tell us what you want to achieve from the beginning. It enables us to tell you what you want to do rather that what you think you want to do. ;) [1] http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/kde-config.xml -- Bo Andresen pgp2DJg4utmu6.pgp Description: PGP signature

One worked nicely thank you. :-) Finally you should know that because kde is slotted you do not have to remove kde-3.4 before installing kde-meta-3.5. But you have to remove it before installing kde-meta-3.4. Monolithic and split packages block each other only within the same slot. Thanks. I know, but this is on a space constrained laptop. Removing 3.4 altogether should do me nicely. In general it helps to tell us what you want to achieve from the beginning. It enables us to tell you what you want to do rather that what you think you want to do. ;) Not a good enough excuse, but was typing all this in-between meetings at work today. 3.4 monolithic has now been removed and I am starting to emerge 3.5 meta. -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
