Description Attila Tajti 2003-03-10 05:28:26 UTC

I tried to unmerge kde-3.0.5a, but failed to do so because kde-base/kde-3.0.5a was protected. 
 
So I went forward to unmerge the ebuilds themselves, but the command 
  
ebuild --debug kdeaddons-3.0.5a/kdeaddons-3.0.5a.ebuild unmerge 
 
resulted in !!! Please specify a valid command. 
 
I looked at /usr/sbin/ebuild and /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/portage.py and noticed that 
in the portage module the unmerge command is missing from the list of valid commands in the first 
check performed by the doebuild function. Adding "unmerge" to the list of valid commands solved 
my problem. 
 
 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. ebuild --debug kdeaddons-3.0.5a/kdeaddons-3.0.5a.ebuild unmerge 
 
Actual Results:  
Ebuild returned with !!! Please specify a valid command. 

Expected Results:  
Unmerge the ebuild. 

Note that this happened after emerge sync ; emerge portage ; emerge sync 
 
No outdated config files were present
