1 Recently portage behaves really strangely on my system.
2 When I do "emerge clean", Portage trys to clean newest packages
3 For example with phoenix-bin:
4
5 # emerge net-www/phoenix-bin
6 SUCCESS
7 # emerge net-www/phoenix-bin -p
8 [ebuild R ] net-www/phoenix-bin-0.4-r2
9 # emerge net-www/phoenix-bin -cp
10
11 >>> These are the packages that I would unmerge:
12
13 net-www/phoenix-bin
14 selected: 0.4-r2
15 protected: 20021121
16 omitted: none
17
18 And the problem is that this happened with sys-apps/portage itself,
19 i.e, after upgrade previous version to portage-2.0.45-r5, portage
20 cleaned sys-apps/portage-2.0.45-r5 ( it tried to kept
21 sys-apps/portage-2.0.45-r4) and portage got broken. Same things
22 happened with almost all packages: gcc, glibc, xfree ....
23
24 Now I am forced to put AUTOCLEAN="no" in /etc/make.conf .
