Bug 386855 – depclean wants to remove active gcc

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Federico Pires 2011-10-12 00:53:30 UTC]

Hello,

An update has come for GCC 4.5 but I don't want to start using it until I test it well in a non productive system. So I still have selected GCC 4.4 as the default.

After doing a world update (after the USE flags for perl and python were removed as default), I wanted to do a depclean, and here's what it listed:

>> These are the packages that would be unmerged:

 dev-lang/swig
    selected: 1.3.40-r1 
   protected: none 
     omitted: none 

 dev-perl/TermReadKey
    selected: 2.300.0 
   protected: none 
     omitted: none 

 sys-devel/gcc
    selected: 4.4.5 
   protected: none 
     omitted: 4.5.3-r1 

 sys-kernel/hardened-sources
    selected: 2.6.38-r6 2.6.39-r8 
   protected: none 
     omitted: 3.0.4-r1 

But:

gcc-config -l

 [1] i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.4.5 *
 [2] i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.4.5-hardenednopie
 [3] i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.4.5-hardenednopiessp
 [4] i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.4.5-hardenednossp
 [5] i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.4.5-vanilla
 [6] i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.5.3
 [7] i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.5.3-hardenednopie
 [8] i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.5.3-hardenednopiessp
 [9] i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.5.3-hardenednossp
 [10] i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.5.3-vanilla

This is the emerge --info output:

echo =sys-devel/gcc-4.4.5* >> /var/lib/portage/world

Oh, there's a problem with that one, of course, but you get my meaning:

echo sys-devel/gcc:4.4 >> /var/lib/portage/world
