Bug 21110 – KDE remains in world-file after unmerging

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Thomas Schuetz 2003-05-16 10:24:35 UTC]

I decided to unmerge some of the KDE-packages I don't need. 
So I unmerge the meta-package kde, to avoid installing the other 
packages with "emerge -u world" again. But the "kde-base/kde" 
stayed in the world file and emerge complained about it.

This is not a kde bug, but a bug in portage. When unmerging the last version of a package it should disappear from world. The portage people also probably want to know which version of portage you used. To solve the problem for you, remove the line that says kde-base/kde from /var/cache/edb/world

I'm using the actual portage 2.0.47-r10

patch for portage.py

This is for current portage.py.

This problem is that unmerge process doesn't "#step 5: well, removal of package
objects is complete, now for package *meta*-objects..." section when the
package is meta-package like KDE.
