updated xawtv-3.65 to 3.73 then did emerge unmerge xawtv-3.73 then qpkg -I xawtv shows that xawtv-3.65 is still installed but there is no /usr/bin/xawtv . Then did updatedb and locate xawtv-3.65 shows /usr/share/doc/xawtv-3.65 and /var/db/pkg/media-video/xawtv-3.65 but no /usr/bin/xawtv
ok, let me get this straight. You had 3.65. Then you emerged 3.73, which overwrote 3.65. Then you unmerge 3.73, removing all the necessary files, and now you can't the binary? When you upgrade a package, you over write it. So, emerge unmerge did exactly what was expected.
ok my error. Just seems confusing that #qpkg -I xawtv is still showing the old xawtv-3.65 as being installed --its not really "installed" if there is no binary---just left over stuff from the update like the old /usr/share/doc/xawtv-3.65 and /var/db/pkg/media-video/xawtv-3.65 . So maybe qpkg -I should be re-defined?
