hello!

i have a problem and i don't know how to solve it:
emerge -c does not work on any ebuild, everything seems to be protected. for example when i try
Code:
emerge -c digger

i get:
Code:

 app-games/digger
    selected: none
   protected: 20020314
     omitted: none

>>> clean: No packages selected for removal.

i am sure that nothing depends on digger (remake of an old dos game) and that nothing depends on many other packages i tried to remove via emerge -c. bwt, emerge -C works.

what could have caused this behavior? how can i fix it?

many thanks,

~michael

I haven't tried emerge -c before but my interpretation of the man page on the clean option is that if you did emerge -c digger then it would clean out old versions of digger but leave the current one installed. But if you did emerge -c app-games/digger then it would clean out that specific version. So give that a shot and see if it works.
