I've been noticing this for a couple revisions I think, but am not sure if |
2 |
it's new behavior or if I'm just noticing what's been there all along. |

At the end of a new package merge, after the binpkg tarball (I'm using |
5 |
FEATURES=binpkg) has been created, then decompressed and merged, but |
6 |
before the emerge --clean phase unmerges old versions, I'm seeing what |
7 |
appears to be an incorrect but harmless message. Here's what I get for |
8 |
gcc, so you can see the sequence (the three lines, safely unmerging thru |
9 |
original instance unmerged, is what I'm talking about): |
10 |
|
11 |
>>> /usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.1.1/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc-4.1.1 -> x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc |
12 |
>>> Safely unmerging already-installed instance... |
13 |
No package files given... Grabbing a set. |
14 |
>>> Original instance of package unmerged safely. |
15 |
* The current gcc config appears valid, so it will not be |
16 |
* automatically switched for you. If you would like to |
17 |
* switch to the newly installed gcc version, do the |
18 |
* following: |
19 |
|
20 |
* eselect compiler set <profile> |
21 |
|
22 |
|
23 |
* If you have issues with packages unable to locate libstdc++.la, |
24 |
* then try running 'fix_libtool_files.sh' on the old gcc versions. |

>>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache... |
27 |
>>> sys-devel/gcc-4.1.1 merged. |
28 |
|
29 |
>>> No packages selected for removal by clean. |
30 |

31 |
>>> Auto-cleaning packages... |
32 |

33 |
/What/ already-installed instance? It's a /new/ version of the package, |
34 |
so there was no already installed instance to unmerge. Again, this is |
35 |
before the clean phase, which occurs just after that, and which removes |
36 |
the old version as expected, so it's not that. |
37 |
|
38 |
I know the message itself isn't new, and I'm used to seeing it when I'm |
39 |
remerging a package over itself, where the message makes sense. Why is it |
40 |
showing up here, when it's a new package version, so there's no original |
41 |
instance to unmerge? Is this new behavior or has it always done that and I |
42 |
never noticed it until now? |
