Hi I installed just for this funny Outlook-Clone (it was really for fun, I'm a mutt-user :)) and now I can't get rid of it....I get the following error when unmerging it:

>>> Updating Scrollkeeper database...
!!! pkg_postrm() script failed; exiting.

Any hints?

What is the name of the program? Is that the complete error message?

As the subject says it's Evolution. :) And that is the whole error-message...before it there are only messages of successful unmerging files.

This may get some more info. Edit the file /usr/sbin/ebuild.sh and change the first line to:
Code:

#!/bin/bash -v


Then do:
Code:

emerge unmerge evolution >&  /tmp/evol.log


The log file created may give you or others in the forum more hints.

I had to figure out that my whole system was fubared...that was the reason, sorry for annoying. I asked in a moment when I didn't know, that my system is broken (had unmerged gcc 3.1 after having compied some packages with it -> very nasty as i even couldn't rememerge gcc 3.1 :oops: ). I was confused because other things were ok to unmerge but they also didn't depend on ScrollKeeper.

However I got rid of this Windows-relict now. :) Thank you for your effords anyway!
