[gentoo-user] bork bork

2005-07-21 Thread Jorge Almeida

$ emerge query belongs /usr/bin/arson
Searching for file '/usr/bin/arson' in *...
app-cdr/arson-0.9.7-r3 (/usr/bin/arson)

$ emerge -p arson

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy arson.

Sure enough, there is no such thing in /usr/portage/app-cdr...
Just for good measure, I did
emerge sync
emerge portage
emerge metadata
just before trying again as above.

So, where is arson? More important, how can I get rid of the installed
version (which makes revdep-rebuild -p unhappy)?
And is portage on fire or is it just my system?

Please, some fire-fighting help!

emerge -C arson - just like any other package. emerge uses the ebuild
in /var/db/pkg when unmerging, so it doesn't matter if the package has
been removed from portage.

1. I believe there is no arson in current portage at all:
emerge --search arson

2. Perhaps you can remove the line from /var/lib/portage/world then rebuild 
dependencies

Yep. Thank you (sheepish countenance).

Yes, I did that. I wonder why it disappeared?

Rebuilding dependencies is what I'm trying to do--not easy when one has
a lot of broken dependencies. But emerge -C did it, following Neil's
reply.

Thanks.
