Bug 16460 – portage-2.0.47-r6 fails to remove package completely

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Klaus-J. Wolf 2003-02-27 05:15:33 UTC]

Like with Bug #15403, packages containing symlinks are not removed completely on
unmerge.

Example:

# emerge blackdown-jdk
...
# 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
--- !empty dir /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1

But actually, these directories are empty.

[Comment 1 Nicholas Jones (RETIRED) 2003-02-28 01:10:29 UTC]

ls -lR /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/jre/plugin/i386

[Comment 2 Klaus-J. Wolf 2003-02-28 09:53:19 UTC]

It's empty. Really.

Nicholas, is that agreeable?

[Comment 4 Nicholas Jones (RETIRED) 2003-03-05 04:00:07 UTC]

ls -lRa /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/jre/plugin/i386

[Comment 5 Klaus-J. Wolf 2003-03-05 07:08:27 UTC]

I doubt the output is possible to be in any way different from what I already sent, but, anyway:

# ls -lRa /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/jre/plugin/i386
/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/jre/plugin/i386:

yeah, he aint kidding nick, those suckers are empty 

[Comment 7 Marius Mauch (RETIRED) 2003-11-24 23:12:52 UTC]

still an issue ?

[Comment 8 Klaus-J. Wolf 2003-11-30 05:59:08 UTC]

Sorry, I have no Gentoo running right now. But the issue is trivial to check. Simply try.

[Comment 9 SpanKY 2004-08-19 20:52:03 UTC]

*** Bug 59593 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

[Comment 10 Klaus-J. Wolf 2004-08-19 23:29:25 UTC]

As far as I can tell this bug is no longer existing in current Gentoo. (That means: I cannot reproduce it anymore. Please re-open if required.)

[Comment 11 Colin Macdonald 2004-08-20 00:39:12 UTC]

My bug 59593 is still reproducable.  Not sure if its really a dup of this or not...

I can't reopen this bug though...

[Comment 12 Klaus-J. Wolf 2004-08-20 01:01:56 UTC]

One of the 117 methods to produce a deadlock. Sorry.
Might please a kind observer re-open some kind of bug somewhere else or whatever?

[Comment 13 Colin Macdonald 2004-08-20 02:23:15 UTC]

I already reopened 59593, suggest you leave this one closed.
