just came across this portage quirk last night: <<< dir /usr/doc/4Suite-0.11.1/docs/html/howto <<< dir /usr/doc/4Suite-0.11.1/docs/html <<< dir /usr/doc/4Suite-0.11.1/docs <<< dir /usr/doc/4Suite-0.11.1/demos/4RDF <<< dir /usr/doc/4Suite-0.11.1/demos/4ODS/tutorial <<< dir /usr/doc/4Suite-0.11.1/demos/4ODS/book_mark_manager <<< dir /usr/doc/4Suite-0.11.1/demos/4ODS <<< dir /usr/doc/4Suite-0.11.1/demos <<< dir /usr/doc/4Suite-0.11.1/demo/4XSLT <<< dir /usr/doc/4Suite-0.11.1/demo/4XPath <<< dir /usr/doc/4Suite-0.11.1/demo <<< dir /usr/doc/4Suite-0.11.1 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1918, in ? mydepgraph.merge(mydepgraph.altlist()) File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1216, in merge if not unmerge("clean", [xsplit[0]]): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1420, in unmerge retval=portage.unmerge(mysplit[0],mysplit[1],portage.root) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/portage.py", line 1771, in unmerge mylink.unmerge() File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/portage.py", line 4036, in unmerge if listdir(obj): File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/portage.py", line 86, in listdir mtime = os.stat(mypath)[ST_MTIME] OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/share/doc/4Suite-0.11.1' ----- This happened while --update 4Suite from 0.11.1 to 1.0_alpha1. I can't see why /use/share/doc/4Suite-0.11.1 disappeared according to the output because it didn't have any trouble removing the other directories. This was also the only portage related program running at the time. Sure enough /usr/share/doc/4Suite-0.11.1 was gone.
