While unmerging vim-6.3-r2 I get the following: *****SNIP***** >>> app-editors/vim-6.3-r4 merged. app-editors/vim selected: 6.3-r2 protected: 6.3-r4 omitted: none >>> 'Selected' packages are slated for removal. >>> 'Protected' and 'omitted' packages will not be removed. >>> Waiting 5 seconds before starting... >>> (Control-C to abort)... >>> Unmerging in: 5 4 3 2 1 >>> Unmerging app-editors/vim-6.3-r2...

QA Notice: ECLASS 'multilib' inherited illegally in app-editors/vim-6.3-r2 QA Notice: ECLASS 'fdo-mime' inherited illegally in app-editors/vim-6.3-r2 *****SNIP***** It's the old version but I thought I'd mention it. Is this the correct place to report these QA notices? I usually see them pretty often but I generally ignore them.

Hrm. I suspect that this was caused by me adding in an inherit for fdo-mime that wasn't there when you merged the package. If you do a fresh install then it won't occur again -- portage sometimes gets slightly confused and gives spurious inherit notices for that kind of thing. I'll close this as CANTFIX -- it's not actually a QA violation, just portage being silly. If I'm wrong, and this occurs if you do a fresh install then uninstall of vim, please reopen.
Yeah, the message didn't come back. I unmerged 6.3-r4, remerged 6.3-r2, unmerged 6.3-r2, remerged 6.3-r2, then upgraded to 6.3-r4 and never saw it.
