When unmerging specific kernel version, this appears: >>> These are the packages that would be unmerged: sys-kernel/no-sources selected:2.6.17-r2 protected: none omitted:2.6.17_rc6-r22.6.17-r1 In fact the ommited versions are 2.6.17_rc6-r2 AND 2.6.17-r1. When unmerging slotted package without explicit version setting, this output is shown: >>> These are the packages that would be unmerged: sys-kernel/no-sources selected:2.6.17_rc6-r22.6.17-r22.6.17-r1 protected: none omitted: none These little bugs seem to be just typos although they may confuse an user.
