It looks like you ran: emerge @gcc-toolchain at some point, which put it in the world file. (Missing out -1 is very common.)
I'd guess: emerge --deselect=y @gcc-toolchain would remove it, but I am not sure whether it also removes set elements.
Check with: | Code: | | grep -Fn gcc-toolchain /var/lib/portage/world |
If that's empty then I'm wrong about the issue.
If the set does show up, you can just remove the line by hand with nano (or another editor.)
I'd backup the world file, and then either try the deselect, and run a diff; or edit the file by hand. Either way you have a backup in case of mistake. |

I'd be interested to know the answer to this question. When I run | Code: | | emerge -pv @gcc-toolchain |
I receive the resopnse | Code: | | There are no sets to satisfy 'gcc-toolchain' |
However that doesn't mean that it didn't exist at some point in time.
Usually when I see "Installed sets: @<???>"portage is referring to sets, configured and installed at /etc/portage/sets/?, typically user sets. So I thought anyway. |

Indeed I'm quite sure I must have run | Code: | | emerge @gcc-toolchain |
at some point.
/var/lib/portage/world doesn't contain any reference in this respect.
So I'm still wondering where to look for it ... | Code: | | cat /etc/portage/sets/gcc-toolchain | while read line; do quickpkg --include-config y $line ; done |
as a safety measure. Now let's pretend to go for it | Code: | emerge -p --deselect=y @gcc-toolchain
>>> Would remove @gcc-toolchain from "world_sets" favorites file... |
| Code: | | emerge --deselect=y @gcc-toolchain |
Now in real life | Code: | emerge --deselect=y @gcc-toolchain
>>> Removing @gcc-toolchain from "world_sets" favorites file... |
| Code: | echo File size is $(stat -c%s /var/lib/portage/world_sets)
File size is 0 |
Final checking | Code: | x-portage
location: /usr/local/portage
masters: gentoo
priority: 0
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" |
Reference gone indeed!
Thks 4 ur attention, interest & support. |

| Ah cool, so sets go in /var/lib/portage/world_sets. Good to know, thanks :) |
