[SOLVED] pkg shows installed but not in world

[myga]

Hello,

I'm trying to remove every pkg that is tied to 'android'. So far, I got rid of 'android-tools' but 'acct-group/android' & 'dev-util/android-udev-rules' are giving some issues.

Code: Select all

# eix -I android
[I] acct-group/android
     Available versions:  0-r1
     Installed versions:  0-r1(22:08:29 09/03/23)
     Description:         Group for dev-util/android-{ndk,sdk-update-manager}

[I] dev-util/android-udev-rules
     Available versions:  20220903 ~20230104 20230303^t 20230614^t
     Installed versions:  20230614^t(22:11:38 09/03/23)
     Homepage:            https://github.com/M0Rf30/android-udev-rules
     Description:         Android udev rules list aimed to be the most comprehensive on the net

Found 2 matches

Code: Select all

# emerge --deselect android
>>> No matching atoms found in "world" favorites file...

# emerge --deselect android-udev-rules 
>>> No matching atoms found in "world" favorites file...

I also ran 'eix-update' to see if the pkg database gets updated, but that didn't fix the issue. Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Try
emerge -ac
or
emerge -ac android

Gotta actually remove redundant packages after declaring them redundant.

emerge -ac android

Doesn't 'emerge --depclean' remove them?

'emerge -ac' wants to remove pkgs that I still need!

I had to use 'emerge -ac android-udev-rules' first or else 'emerge' complains that the former depends on 'android'.

Anyway, thank you for your help. [/code]

if you want or need them, you should put them in your world using emerge --noreplace . Regularly running emerge --ask --depclean is an important part of maintaining your install.

Hello myga,

Whenever I say world from now on I refer to world file as world set is the set of all packages emerged on the system.

World contains only packages you explicitly emerged.

Packages in world won't be cleaned.

Direct or indirect dependencies of packages being in world will not be cleaned.

To clean a package you first need to remove it from world with emerge --deselect and then run emerge -ac, -ac being short for --ask --depclean. Never run emerge --depclean without --ask or --pretend (-p for short). If the packages are not cleaned they are a dependency, direct or indirect, of something in world.

Whenever you run emerge to fix something you should run it with --oneshot (-1 for short). This will ensure the packages emerged won't end up recorded in world, thus making it impossible to clean and often times conflict with other packages.

So you emerge --deselect the package you want to clean, then emerge -ac and if you see something you don't want to be cleaned, you terminate and emerge --noreplace the ones you don't want to clean, repeat until you see no packages you want to keep in the output of emerge -ac.

Best Regards,
Georgi
