I just found a rather dangerous feature in portage. After doing an |
| 2 |
emerge -u world it automaticly did an emerge clean (Which I heard was |
| 3 |
Gentoo policy now) |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
This is plain stupid and dangerous since I'm now missing several shared |
| 6 |
objects (.so files). In order to correct it I have two choices |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
1. emerge -e world |
| 9 |
or |
| 10 |
2. emerge -e <broken packages> |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
which will take alot of time. |
| 13 |

Why has this become a features ? did anyone not consider the |
| 15 |
consequences it could have ? |
