Comment 1 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2003-07-20 20:50:57 UTC 
proper syntax is: 
emerge unmerge dev-perl/Test-Simple dev-perl/File-Spec 
or 
emerge unmerge =dev-perl/Test-Simple-0.47-r1 =dev-perl/File-Spec-0.84-r1 
or 
emerge unmerge Test-Simple File-Spec 
 
please review the manpages for more information
Comment 2 James Cloos 2003-07-21 03:08:16 UTC 
OK.

I'm sure I used the syntax that does not now work in the past though.

emerge --help ought to mention something about that.
