When doing "emerge --sync", toward the end package renamings in the /usr/portage/profiles/updates/* files are handled. The handling of binary packages made by FEATURES=buildpkg is incomplete. For example, in /usr/portage/profiles/updates/2Q-2006 there is this line: move app-text/ghostscript-afpl app-text/ghostscript-gpl On my system, this renamed /usr/portage/packages/All/ghostscript-afpl-8.54-r1.tbz2 to become: /usr/portage/packages/All/ghostscript-gpl-8.54-r1.tbz2 However, there is still a symbolic link at /usr/portage/packages/app-text/ghostscript-afpl-8.54-r1.tbz2 that points to: ../All/ghostscript-afpl-8.54-r1.tbz2 This causes problems for "eclean packages". This is with sys-apps/portage-2.1.1_pre1-r5. Can this please be fixed? Thanks in advance!
The layout of $PKGDIR/All is about to be changed.
This is fixed in svn r3687. Like solar said, the we will be migrating to an new $PKGDIR format for bug 133908.
This has been released on 2.1.1_pre2.
