Would it be safe to downgrade to the latest 2.1?

I don't remember exactly but there was a feature I wanted that wasn't in Portage 2.1. I think it was Sets. I believe I needed it (or thought I needed it) to simplify installing KDE.

Re: [gentoo-user] emerge --unmerge fails
Well, if you were running portage-2-2_rc67, that's already pretty much bleeding edge =P But just out of curiosity, though, is there any particular reason you're not running a more-stable version of Portage, such as v2.1.8.3 or v2.1.9.17? The 2.2 release-candidates are hard-masked for a reason - which includes things randomly breaking, such as this unmerge issue you experienced.

Re: [gentoo-user] emerge --unmerge fails
Have you tried upgrading to the latest version of Portage 2.2? The newest version in the tree is currently portage-2.2_rc95, while you're still using portage-2.2_rc67. Perhaps there's a bug causing this that was fixed in subsequent release?

Also, note that it's not just this package. I have the same problem for at least 2 others. It seems a pandemic. :-)

As the error suggests, remove that file (/var/db/pkg/www-client/arora-0.11.0/environment.bz2) and then try again, it should hopefully work then.

[gentoo-user] emerge --unmerge fails
Hi all,
