This could be related with bug 198200 and bug 283587 but I think it's not exactly a dupe of them. The problem is the following: I admin some systems remotely, then, I usually perform updates on them, but, when a new gentoo-sources ebuild reaches the tree, emerge --depclean always want to unmerge sources related with current running kernel (that can be checked simply running "uname -a"), causing me to have to run "emerge --noreplace `desired version`" every time. I want to preserve sources related with running kernel as I don't want to compile and reboot to new kernel until another people is near the machine, since something could fail and it's important that these machines keep running :-/ Thanks Reproducible: Always
If we can assume that /usr/src/linux points to the running kernel, then this is a duplicate of bug 283587. It's more complex to parse uname and map it back to a package, so it's better avoided.
OK, if it's harder to do, no problem, "link checking" would be enough for me Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 283587 ***
