Description Pavel Šimerda 2006-08-28 06:34:42 UTC

Both dev-python/pysqlite-1.0.1 and dev-python/pysqlite-2.3.1 were installed.
Likewise, both dev-db/sqlite-2.8.16-r4 and dev-db/sqlite-3.3.5-r1 were installed as dependencies.

In /var/lib/portage/world, there was only dev-python/pysqlite (without version number).

emerge --depclean removed dev-db/sqlite-2.8.16-r4, while keeping obsolete dev-python/pysqlite-1.0.1 installed and breaking it's dependency at the same time.

What version of sys-apps/portage?  There's a completely new depclean in >=portage-2.1.1_pre5-r2 that is much safer than the old one.

Comment 2 Pavel Šimerda 2006-08-28 09:04:11 UTC

Portage 2.1-r2 (default-linux/x86/2006.0, gcc-3.4.6, glibc-2.3.6-r4, 2.6.15.7-ubuntu1-tiger-initrd i686)

It probably works fine with the new depclean.  If you'd like to test it, 2.1.1_rc1 should be safe to use since we're nearing a final release and not making any more invasive changes.
