Description Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2012-06-02 08:57:00 UTC 
$ emerge -1vDtu @world --with-bdeps=y --quiet-build=n  --exclude em8300-libraries
emerge: the given set 'world' contains a non-existent set named 'mg_xfce-mini'.

$ emerge -C @mg_xfce-mini
emerge: There are no sets to satisfy 'mg_xfce-mini'.

It would be great if portage suggested a way to remove the set (i.e. 'try emaint world' or something like that).
