for some reason i needed to have vim-6.4 on my box until now. when i try to update to vim-7.2 emerge freeze. the freeze happens in ebuild.sh and when i run emerge in debug mode i get endless loop of: ++ case "${ver_str:0:1}" in ++ result[$result_idx]=7 ++ ver_str=7.0.109 ++ result_idx=6617 ++ [[ -n 7.0.109 ]] ++ case "${ver_str:0:1}" in .... grep points me towards versionator.eclass. this is probably by newer eclasses and very old vim ebuild used to unmerge. is there any way out?

in particular the freeze point is inside cleaning of vim-core-6.4

does emerge -C vim work?
no, the log above is from --unmerge.
Lots of people have reported this before. Here's the solution: rm /var/db/pkg/app-editors/vim-core-6.4/environment.bz2
> rm /var/db/pkg/app-editors/vim-core-6.4/environment.bz2 sorry i couldn't wait so long for vim become usable on my system ;) i 'fixed' it a while ago by manual removing files and records in portage tree... thanks anyway.
