Description Bill Skellenger 2006-07-06 11:50:34 UTC

The docs recommend using the following command to unmerge old instances of KDE:

Code Listing 4.3: Removing selected packages
# equery list kde-base/ | grep 3.4 | xargs emerge --unmerge --pretend

When using the above command to get rid of old 3.3 stuff, it matched the following:

# equery list kde-base/ | grep 3.3
kde-base/artsplugin-mpg123-3.4.1  <-- (I don't intend to get rid of this guy)

The intention is to match 3.3 (with the "dot" as a decimal point), a more proper argument would be:  

# equery list kde-base/ | grep "3\.3"
