*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 16460 ***
16460 is now closed but my issue is still here with portage-2.0.50-r9
I doubt these are portage's fault. Probably the result of (pre|post)inst. If these are still problematic the ebuild should be investigated.
Reopen it if it's still a problem.
I never said it was a portage bug (comment #1 suggested that). The issue is still here. I agree that its probably the ebuild.
Acrobat5/Reader/intellinux isn't being removed by portage because it supposedly isn't empty. From "emerge unmerge acrobat": --- !empty dir /opt/netscape --- !empty dir /opt/Acrobat5/Reader/intellinux --- !empty dir /opt/Acrobat5/Reader But it IS empty: aross-laptop / # ls -la /opt/Acrobat5/Reader/intellinux/ total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 48 Sep 10 10:25 . drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 80 Sep 10 10:25 .. Wouldn't that imply a portage bug, rather than a problem with the ebuild?

This looks like a problem in Portage. (I tested with acroread) When emerge tries to remove /opt/Acrobat5/Reader/intellinux/ it contains "res" and "fonts" symbolic links pointing to "../res" and "../../Resource/Font" respectively, and the directory is not removed. After that, these two symlinks (considered dead) are removed and thus empty /opt/Acroread5/Reader/intellinux directory is left. This occurs on any package that contains any symlink to upper directory than the symlink itself.
So... It's a recursive symlink issue. This would require a pre-calculated final state, I imagine, or at least some assumptions or walking.
