1 Howdy,

3 Updated portage today and it gave me a warning that there are
4 problems in my world file:
5
6 Calculating world dependencies
7 !!! Problems have been detected with your world file
8 !!! Please run emaint --check world
9
10 So ran the check:
11
12 royw-gentoo ~ # emaint --check world
13 Checking world for problems
14
15 'dev-db/mysqltool' has no ebuilds available
16 'dev-java/htmlparser' has no ebuilds available
17 'media-libs/divx4linux' has no ebuilds available
18
19 OK, then tried to look these guys up with eix:
20
21 royw-gentoo ~ # eix mysqltool
22 * dev-db/mysqltool
23 Available versions: [M]0.95-r1 [M]0.95-r2 [M]0.95-r3
24 Installed: 0.95-r2
25 ...
26
27 royw-gentoo ~ # eix htmlparser
28
29 Found 0 matches
30 royw-gentoo ~ # eix divx4linux
31
32 Found 0 matches
33
34 I unmerged mysqltool (not used since phpmyadmin installed), no problems.
35
36 What I'm not sure about is how to check dependents and unmerge
37 the two orphans. Any ideas before I try some deep cleaning?
38
39 TIA,
40 Roy
