Hi
I've got a little problem. I found an appanrently old instance of control-center lying around in my system. Well let's just remove it I thought, but I can't! I get this mesage:
Code: | emerge -C /usr/portage/gnome-base/control-center/control-center-1.4.0.5-r1.ebuild
['', 'usr', 'portage', 'gnome-base', 'control-center', 'control-center-1.4.0.5-r1.ebuild']
/usr/portage/gnome-base/control-center/control-center-1.4.0.5-r1.ebuild
!!! /usr/portage/gnome-base/control-center/control-center-1.4.0.5-r1.ebuild is not inside /var/db/pkg; aborting.

Do anyone know how to get the db-data? (Maybe a secret feature in Portage?)
How can I remove the package properlly if I can't find the data I need in /var/db/pkg? |

First manually check and make sure it is not in /var/db/pkg/gnome-base/control-center-1.4.0.5-r1/
If it's there, you might try
ebuild /var/db/pkg/gnome-base/control-center-1.4.0.5-r1/control-center-1.4.0.5-r1.ebuild unmerge
Otherwise,
emerge /user/portage/gnome-base/control-center/control-center-1.4.0.5-r1.ebuild
emerge /user/portage/gnome-base/control-center/control-center-1.4.0.5-r1.ebuild
unmerge
Note: If you use gnome, it might be a good idea to keep the 1.4 version of control-center around so that you can configure (themes, preferred apps, etc) for 1.4 apps you might still be using such as evolution.
