Description Claes Mogren 2004-01-13 02:22:20 UTC 
I can't unmerge old packages since I upgraded to the latest version of portage. This is an example
> emerge unmerge gentoo-sources-2.4.22-r1 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 2194, in ?
    if 1==unmerge(myaction, myfiles):
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1651, in unmerge
    mymatch=localtree.dep_match(x)
  File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 3946, in dep_match
    mymatch=self.dbapi.match(mydep)
  File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 3865, in match
    mymatch=match_from_list(mydep,self.cp_list(mykey))
  File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 3258, in match_from_list
    raise KeyError, "Specific key requires an operator (%s)" % (mydep)
KeyError: 'Specific key requires an operator (sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.4.22-r1)'

Always the same result, doesn't help if I write "sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.4.22-r1"
