Comment 1 Rick Jenkins 2018-06-26 19:16:20 UTC
Still an issue.

In my case eclean-kernel 1.99.4  with -n 2 cleans out linux-4.17.0-gentoo leaving linux-4.15.0-gentoo intact, when linux-4.17.2-gentoo is present.
Comment 2 Rafael Kitover 2019-04-17 23:26:31 UTC
For me it deleted 5.1-rc5 which was the latest and left 5.1-rc3, something is off with the version number detection or something. Now I'm recompiling my kernel again.
Comment 3 Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2020-05-24 08:42:33 UTC
Could you try 2.99.1 and see if it happens still?  The algorithm is roughly the same but since it's rewritten to Python, I might have fixed some bug in the C code.

Please reopen if you can still reproduce.
