Multi-slot packages ARE removed by depclean except the last stable |
| 13 |
version - which jumped backwards for me because I used an ~arch kernel |
| 14 |
that was removed from portage. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
The following happened: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
# emerge -DNua world |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Reinstalled 4.4 for me. Problem here: I didn't exactly distinguish that |
| 21 |
4.4.something is not 4.6.something in the result list. So I continued |
| 22 |
with: |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
# emerge --depclean -a |
| 25 |
# cd /usr/src/linux && make oldconfig && ... the usual stuff |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Wow, that went fast. Then, I realized why: I just depcleaned my 4.6 and |
| 28 |
4.4 compile objects were still there, I tried to reinstall 4.6, |
| 29 |
it failed - of course: The package is no longer in portage. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
I thought: Okay, there's probably a reason, let's get to 4.7.2 then - |
| 32 |
what should possibly go wrong? It's not 4.7.0 and I still have 4.6 |
| 33 |
in /boot. Yeah, what should go wrong... I shouldn't have asked. TL;DR: |
| 34 |
I restored from backup. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
This must be coincidence. I wanted to go to stable kernel at next |
| 37 |
opportunity. But forward in version, not backward. ;-) |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
But let's get back to the point: |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
Depclean does remove multi-slotted kernel sources. It does it with |
| 42 |
every multislot package except there's an explicit slot dependency or |
| 43 |
you explicitly mention the slot in the world file. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
Since I cannot remember such a surprise-removal* happened anytime |
| 46 |
before and put me in such a situation, this was completely new to me. |
| 47 |
(10+ years of Gentoo usage) |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
Lesson learned: Keep your eyes open. Maybe I put the kernel slot |
| 50 |
into my world file, with the opposite downside this has. (note to |
| 51 |
myself) |
