 |
|
Hi everybody!
I had the lolo-sources installed. Now this ebuild has been removed - unfortunately nobody could tell me why.
How do I uninstall/remove lolo-sources from the list of installed ebuild?
bye

I take it you've already removed the directory in /usr/src that correspodns to the source tree. By the way, you could also remove the directory in /lib/modules.
Anyhow, the database of installed packages is in /var/db/pkg/, and its structure is similar to that of the Portage tree, except that only packages you have installed will show up. Remove all the lolo-sources directories, and you'll be set.

I had not since I was hoping I could use "emerge unmerge" somehow. But I have now done so...

...then I looked into /var/db/pkg/ and found the lolo-sources ebuilds inside the pfeifer-sources directory. With these I could use "emerge unmerge" - and was happy to notice they deleted themself during the unmerge process.
Thanx for your help!

That's wrong!!
First of all it's about completely deinstalling an ebuild. "-C" or "clean" just uninstalls the older versions if more than one version is installed.
Then it only works if the ebuild is still in the portage tree - which was not the case.
Maybe you should have gone through all that other junk in order to understand what it's all about.

Relax man ... the guy's only trying to help  Besides the -C switch does unemerge, your thinking of -c which is clean man emerge  |
