When trying to unmerge old kerneltrees portage fails. (Removing regular programs, like gaim or so works just fine) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have at least one unused kernel emerged 2. try to unmerge it Actual Results: > emerge unmerge sys-kernel/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)' Expected Results: The old gentoo-sources should have been unmerged.
