Bug 91433 – All emerged updates are being report as NOT having replaced the original

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description George Garvey 2005-05-04 06:56:14 UTC]

emerge -auDv world, then run qpkg -d -v. The result is that all updated packages are shown in the duplicate list, even though they are not slotted. Below is the output from qpkg -d -v -nc this morning (after an emerge -auDv world). (openoffice has been there for a while, and I'm just ignoring it). The newly updated cpio, gzip, etc., are now shown as installed as if they were slotted. This is happening on all the computers using Gentoo right now. What can be done to fix this?

[Comment 1 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2005-05-04 07:23:50 UTC]

This is perfectly normal to have multiple versions installed for glib, gtk+, autoconf, automake, gentoo-sources and db. 

[Comment 2 Jason Stubbs (RETIRED) 2005-05-04 07:36:28 UTC]

The only unusual ones there are:

app-arch/cpio-2.6-r2
app-arch/cpio-2.6-r3
app-arch/gzip-1.3.5-r5
app-arch/gzip-1.3.5-r6

Do you have AUTOCLEAN set to anything other than "yes"?

[Comment 3 George Garvey 2005-05-04 07:39:37 UTC]

No. The output from grep on all (but 1) /etc/make.conf:

tmwg@mwg-pts/1[1198]/home/tmwg
05/02/05 12:23PM % grep AUTOCLEAN /etc/make.conf
# AUTOCLEAN enables portage to automatically clean out older or overlapping
AUTOCLEAN="no"
You have new mail.

AUTOCLEAN="no" means that your asking that portage not clean out old versions. Change that to "yes" or remove it altogether and then run `emerge clean`.

[Comment 5 George Garvey 2005-05-04 07:48:48 UTC]

Thank you. I never could get a clear understanding for what AUTOCLEAN did. I must have changed it recently, because of that misunderstanding.
