Howdy
I just emerged the latest glibc using Portage, because it patched a bug which was affecting a program:
$ qpkg -I glibc
sys-libs/glibc-2.2.5-r2 *
sys-libs/glibc-2.2.5-r3 *
Can I simply run "emerge unmerge glibc-2.2.5-r2"? Will this cause the new glibc to be moved into place, and therefore leave my system in a usable state?
I now understand that I should have used "emerge --update glibc" instead, but is there any way in which I can now remove the older version in a _safe_ way?
TIA

After updating with emerge you should use emerge clean
Try this:
| Code: |
emerge --pretend --clean world
|
It'll show the old versions of packages you upgraded. Look at the output and then do
| Code: |
emerge --clean world
|
or if you only want to delete the old glibc
| Code: |
emerge --clean glibc
|
