Description Klaus-J. Wolf 2003-02-20 08:48:21 UTC

For some reason, portage doesn't seem to be able to remove all files.

Kindly have a look at this:

# emerge unmerge blackdown-jdk
...
--- !empty dir /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/jre/plugin/i386
--- !empty dir /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/jre/plugin
--- !empty dir /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/jre/lib/i386/server
--- !empty dir /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/jre/lib/i386
--- !empty dir /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/jre/lib
--- !empty dir /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/jre
--- !empty dir /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1

# find /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/ ! -type d

/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/jre/lib/i386/server/libjsig.so
/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/jre/plugin/i386/netscape7

Both are symlinks.

Same effect with other packages, e.g. coccinella.
