i updated the binutils package from binutils 2.18-r1 to binutils 2.18-r3 after that, emerge -p --depclean shows the old package binutils 2.18-r1 as unneeded, but after i done a emerge --unmerge binutils-2.18-r1, all binaries are gone. emerge -pv binutils still shows the current version installed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. have binutils 2.18-r1 installed 2. upgrade to binutils 2.18-r3 with 3. run emerge --unmerge binutils-2.18-r1 Actual Results: binutils is gone Expected Results: - upgrade of binutils 2.18 slot from r1 to r3 replaces all stuff OR - removing the r1 version dosen't kill the r3 version multislot use flag is set, multitarget use flag is unset

What does `binutils-config -l' say? What happens if you used that tool to switch to the remaining (installed) version of binutils?
if you changed multislot and didnt re-emerge binutils-2.18-r1, this would have happened

you'll probably have to install a binpkg to recover. you can find some on tinderbox.
