My system had gotten quite out of date. I updated my system to use the 2004.3 profile, and did a full emerge -u world. Which completed successfully but emerge is unable to remove an old version of nvidia-glx (1.0.6106-r3). This causes a error at the end of every emerge I run. The following error message is kicked out if I let portage try to auto unmerge or if I manually try to unmerge. $ sudo emerge unmerge =media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.6106-r3 media-video/nvidia-glx selected: 1.0.6106-r3 protected: none omitted: 1.0.6629-r1 >>> 'Selected' packages are slated for removal. >>> 'Protected' and 'omitted' packages will not be removed. >>> Waiting 5 seconds before starting... >>> (Control-C to abort)... >>> Unmerging in: 5 4 3 2 1 >>> Unmerging media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.6106-r3...

can you tell me what the SLOTs are for the two packages? /var/db/pkg/media-video/nvidia-glx-*/SLOT
