Since emerge is the key to gentoo systems, it should has some backup to mistaken actions. Reproducible: Always Actual Results: No emerge. /usr/bin/emerge is a symbolic link to python-exec2.
There are a multitude of ways you can break your system by unmerging random packages. Where do we draw the line?
Since bug 268724 we have this warning message for emerge --unmerge, though --quiet suppresses it: * This action can remove important packages! In order to be safer, use * `emerge -pv --depclean <atom>` to check for reverse dependencies before * removing packages.
What about write a document of python-exec?
emerge -C is dangerous and should not be used. Use emerge -c if you want a safety-lock (which is why it exists), it's the sensible option.
Because it blocked other things(long time no upgrading, more than one year).
(In reply to picnic.sun from comment #5) > Because it blocked other things(long time no upgrading, more than one year). Sounds like you needed support then? We have the forums, IRC, and mailing lists. We cannot stop users from forcibly removing core packages from their system.
