Description Jorge Vargas 2006-03-29 22:06:49 UTC
I notice that x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.21.7-r1 was looking for opengl-update, I check the ebuild (line329) in function pkg_postrm. 

I know that opengl-update is deprecated, so this is a bug I took a look at the other ebuild files and some had the new eselect command. 

I set a little bash script that looks at all the ebuild looking for the string opengl-update and it came up with
format {ebuild grep]

ati-drivers-8.14.13-r2.ebuild opengl-update --use-old xorg-x11
ati-drivers-8.14.13-r3.ebuild opengl-update --use-old xorg-x11
ati-drivers-8.18.8-r2.ebuild /usr/bin/opengl-update --use-old xorg-x11
ati-drivers-8.21.7-r1.ebuild /usr/bin/opengl-update --use-old xorg-x11

which means that those 4 ebuild still use the deprecated program.

on a minor issue the einfo output for this ebuilds still has the old reference to oengl-update

ati-drivers-8.14.13-r2.ebuild einfo "To switch to ATI OpenGL, run \"opengl-update ati\""
ati-drivers-8.14.13-r3.ebuild einfo "To switch to ATI OpenGL, run \"opengl-update ati\""
ati-drivers-8.14.13-r4.ebuild einfo "To switch to ATI OpenGL, run \"opengl-update ati\""
ati-drivers-8.14.13-r5.ebuild einfo "To switch to ATI OpenGL, run \"opengl-update ati\""
ati-drivers-8.16.20-r1.ebuild einfo "To switch to ATI OpenGL, run \"opengl-update ati\""
ati-drivers-8.16.20.ebuild einfo "To switch to ATI OpenGL, run \"opengl-update ati\""
ati-drivers-8.18.6-r1.ebuild einfo "To switch to ATI OpenGL, run \"opengl-update ati\""
ati-drivers-8.18.6.ebuild einfo "To switch to ATI OpenGL, run \"opengl-update ati\""
ati-drivers-8.21.7-r1.ebuild einfo "To switch to ATI OpenGL, run \"opengl-update ati\""

I'm not sure if this was a mistake by whoever updated the other ones or they actually need the deprecated package.

Don't restrict bugs without any reason.

As 2.6.15 was stable before eselect had a stable release we did a -r1 so we could stablize, otherwise ati-drivers could not have been used. From here out there is no plans to continue to use opengl-update as eselect has been stablized.

Now the question is, should all traces of opengl-update be removed?

I'm sorry, I'm new at reporting bugs to gentoo. I though you should set the restrictions to what you have tested.
