emerge info
2.3.5 was omitted. The problem was that 2.3.4-r1 was installed after 2.3.5 hence almost all python files were owned by the version you decided to uninstall. `emerge --clean dev-lang/python` is what you should have ran and is designed specifically so that the correct version is uninstalled. |
emerge --info showed my system as having two versions of python installed (dev-lang/python: 2.3.4-r1, 2.3.5). Trying to remove one version with the command emerge -C "=dev-lang/python-2.3.4-r1" -p gave the output; dev-lang/python selected: 2.3.4-r1 protected: none omitted: 2.3.5 Running the command then removed both 2.3.4-r1 and 2.3.5 See forum http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-379071-highlight-.html Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Recover system from backup tarball (untar stage3, untar system tarball) 2. execute emerge -C "=dev-lang/python-2.3.4-r1" -p 3. emerge -C "=dev-lang/python-2.3.4-r1" Actual Results: preview listed dev-lang/python-2.3.4-r1 as being selected and dev-lang/python-2.3.5 as being omitted then removed both versions. Expected Results: removed version dev-lang/python-2.3.4-r1 only as stated. Tarball used in recovery was stage3-pentium3-2005.1.tar.bz2. The system backup extracted over the top of this could be sanitized and made available if necessary.
