As Alan said, I came across this earlier today. In my case |
14 |
gentoo-sources was the only think in the --depclean list so I didn't |
15 |
let emerge remove it but had I been presented with a longer list I |
16 |
could have easily missed it. |

To fix it, or be safe for the future when you are tired and not paying |
19 |
much attention, you can add lines by hand in /var/lib/portage/world |

|
21 |
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources:2.6.24-r7 |
22 |
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources:2.6.24-r8 |

Note the use of the colon instead of the dash. Don't ask me why but |
25 |
that's what works. |
26 |
|
27 |
With that I now have two kernels protected from this problem and can |
28 |
still, I believe, do an emerge -C on a specific kernel that I might |
29 |
want to get rid of in the future. |

Hope this helps, |
