emerge --depclean --pretend gives me an error talking about an invalid atom gnome-base/orbit.5.12 Orbit was slotted on my system with 0.5.12 and 2.14.16, so I unmerged 0.5.12, and tried emerge --depclean --pretend per the output below and received the same error. I have no idea what is going on. Please advise! Thanks! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge --depclean --pretend 2. 3. Actual Results: newgallifrey johnd # emerge --depclean --pretend * Always study the list of packages to be cleaned for any obvious * mistakes. Packages that are part of the world set will always * be kept. They can be manually added to this set with * `emerge --noreplace <atom>`. Packages that are listed in * package.provided (see portage(5)) will be removed by * depclean, even if they are part of the world set. * * As a safety measure, depclean will not remove any packages * unless *all* required dependencies have been resolved. As a * consequence, it is often necessary to run `emerge --update * --newuse --deep @system @world` prior to depclean.

Well, it *is* an invalid atom. There's an unprintable character in it where "-0" should be. Check your world file for that malformed atom.

Thanks for the response. Okay, that makes sense, I thought that might be in some file somewhere, but had no idea where. At anyrate, it is not in my world file, so where else might it be? I did recursively grep the entire /usr/portage for orbit, but no luck. Attached is my world file to double check.
Created an attachment (id=172763) [edit] make --depclean more tolerant of invalid dependencies of packages that will be uninstalled anyway If this patch is saved as /tmp/depclean_invalid_deps.patch, then it can be applied as follows: cd /usr/lib/portage patch -p0 < /tmp/depclean_invalid_deps.patch
The patch works! My problem is taken care of. Thanks for your help!
Thanks for testing. This is fixed in 2.2_rc15.
