Description Stephane Gagne 2005-02-04 00:05:16 UTC 
old doc directories in /usr/share/doc are not removed upon upgrading or unmerging (e.g. after an "emerge -C nmrview")

bash-2.05b$ ls -l  /usr/share/doc/nmrview-5.2.2*
/usr/share/doc/nmrview-5.2.2:
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 17 Dec 20 15:29 html -> /opt/nmrview/html

/usr/share/doc/nmrview-5.2.2-r1:
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 17 Dec 22 14:41 html -> /opt/nmrview/html

/usr/share/doc/nmrview-5.2.2-r2:
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 19 Feb  4 02:55 README -> /opt/nmrview/README
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 17 Feb  4 02:55 html -> /opt/nmrview/html


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -C nmrview  (or upgrading from -r1 to -r2)
2. ls -l  /usr/share/doc/nmrview-5.2.2*
Actual Results:  
/usr/share/doc/nmrview-5.2.2:
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 17 Dec 20 15:29 html -> /opt/nmrview/html

/usr/share/doc/nmrview-5.2.2-r1:
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 17 Dec 22 14:41 html -> /opt/nmrview/html

/usr/share/doc/nmrview-5.2.2-r2:
total 0


Expected Results:  
ls: /usr/share/doc/nmrview-5.2.2*: No such file or directory

Well, let's call it a duplicate then?
