I'm never taken the time to understand exactly how portage keeps track |
| 10 |
of what is on a system so I'm now curious what represents an |
| 11 |
'installed' package. Is it simply that there is a directory located |
| 12 |
under /var/db/pkg? |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Can I safely remove this directory? As a test I moved it elsewhere and |
| 15 |
now eix-test-obsolete doesn't complain. I presume at this point I can |
| 16 |
delete it. there's nothing in the directory as best I can tell and the |
| 17 |
version number does not match the version of pam currently install. |

Thanks in advance, |
