I always stumble around endlessly whenever I attempt to use math |
| 2 |
symbols in emerge commands. |

To Neil B and others who have patiently explained this to me on |
| 5 |
several occasions... I can only plead deep seated idiocy but I'm not |
| 6 |
getting why this happens. |

I want to `unmerge' (-C) versions of gentoo-sources prior to -2.6.20-r6 |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
However this fails: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
root # emerge -vpC "<"gentoo-sources-2.6.20-r6 |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
>>> These are the packages that would be unmerged: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
--- Couldn't find '<gentoo-sources-2.6.20-r6' to unmerge. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
>>> No packages selected for removal by unmerge |
| 20 |

================================================== |

However the same command run in `install' mode works: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
root # emerge -vp "<"gentoo-sources-2.6.20-r6 |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
These are the packages that would be merged, in order: |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Calculating dependencies... done! |
| 30 |
[ebuild NS ] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.20-r5 \ |
| 31 |
USE="-build -symlink" 42,570 kB |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
As expected the next lower package is offered. |
