Following the removal of the old php.eclass from portage (I presume in preparation for the upcoming changeover to the 'consolidated' PHP ebuilds) was unable to unmerge mod_php-4.3.2 I actually had 2 versions of mod_php installed (due to slotting problems?). The versions were mod_php-4.3.2 and mod_php-4.4.0. I was able to successfully remove 4.4.0, but the unmerge failed on 4.3.2 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge --unmerge mod_php-4.3.2 2. 3. Actual Results: myhost ~ # emerge --unmerge mod_php-4.3.2 dev-php/mod_php selected: 4.3.2 protected: none omitted: none >>> 'Selected' packages are slated for removal. >>> 'Protected' and 'omitted' packages will not be removed. >>> Waiting 5 seconds before starting... >>> (Control-C to abort)... >>> Unmerging in: 5 4 3 2 1 >>> Unmerging dev-php/mod_php-4.3.2...

php.eclass was removed 13 month ago (and really not coming back). The workaround is correct. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 46223 ***
