This is used in eudev-*.ebuild: # 64-device-mapper.rules now gets installed by sys-fs/device-mapper # remove it if user don't has sys-fs/device-mapper installed, 27 Jun 2007 if [[ -f ${EROOT}etc/udev/rules.d/64-device-mapper.rules ]] && ! has_version sys-fs/device-mapper then rm -f "${EROOT}"etc/udev/rules.d/64-device-mapper.rules einfo "Removed unneeded file 64-device-mapper.rules" fi This is current in udev-9999.ebuild: # 64-device-mapper.rules is related to sys-fs/device-mapper which we block # in favor of sys-fs/lvm2 old_dm_rules=${ROOT}etc/udev/rules.d/64-device-mapper.rules if [[ -f ${old_dm_rules} ]]; then rm -f "${old_dm_rules}" einfo "Removed unneeded file ${old_dm_rules}" fi Basically sys-fs/device-mapper has been removed from Portage today, and has been uninstallable for, well, years(!)
