Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -C <tuxonice-sources-2.6.27 Actual Result: -su: tuxonice-sources-2.6.27: No such file or directory Expected Result: Portage unmerges all installed tuxonice-sources with version less than 2.6.27 Notes: I also tried this with <= with the same result. ~ seems to work (ie. "emerge -C ~tuxonice-sources-2.6.24 ~tuxonice-sources-2.6.25 ~tuxonice-sources-2.6.26" works as expected) Portage 2.2_rc23 (default/linux/amd64/2008.0/desktop, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.6.1-r0, 2.6.27-tuxonice-r2 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.27-tuxonice-r2-x86_64-AMD_Athlon-tm-_64_Processor_3000+-with-glibc2.2.5 Timestamp of tree: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 10:05:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 3.2_p33 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7-r1, 2.1.6-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.5.2-r8 dev-util/cmake: 2.4.8 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.11.1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61-r2 sys-devel/automake: 1.5, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.26 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.23-r3 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/init.d /etc/php/apache2-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cgi-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cli-php5/ext-active/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/udev/rules.d /usr/share/X11/xkb" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--alphabetical --ask --verbose --tree --with-bdeps=y" FEATURES="collision-protect distlocks fixpackages parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch userpriv" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://ftp.mirrorservice.org/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/ http://mirror.switch.ch/mirror/gentoo/ http://pandemonium.tiscali.de/pub/gentoo/ http://gentoo.virginmedia.com/ " LANG="en_GB" LC_ALL="en_GB.UTF-8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" LINGUAS="en_GB en" MAKEOPTS="-j1" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS="--exclude-from=/etc/portage/rsync_excludes" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage /usr/local/portage_svn" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow 3dnowext X acpi alsa amd64 bash-completion bluetooth bzip2 cairo cdr cli cracklib crypt cups dbus dlloader dri dvd dvdr dvdread emboss encode evo firefox fortran gif hal iconv ipv6 isdnlog jpeg kde libnotify mad midi mikmod mmx mp3 mpeg mudflap multilib ncurses nls nptl nptlonly ogg openmp pam pcre pdf perl png ppds pppd python qt3 qt3support qt4 quicktime readline reflection sdl session spell spl sse sse2 ssl startup-notification svg sysfs tcpd threads tiff truetype unicode usb vorbis xine xml xorg xulrunner xv zlib" ALSA_CARDS="intel8x0" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user dir env headers include log_config logio mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse evdev synaptics wacom" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="en_GB en" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nv vesa" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS
emerge -C '<tuxonice-sources-2.6.27' < is also a shell operator so it should be escaped
