Yeah, emerge does not accept globbing. bash does though so you could just cd |
15 |
to /var/db/pkg and take advantage of that. |

For paludis users there are arguments to help with this kind of thing. :) |

Uninstall options |
20 |
Options which are relevant for --uninstall. |
21 |
|
22 |
--with-unused-dependencies (--no-with-unused-dependencies) |
23 |
Also uninstall any dependencies of the target that are no longer |
24 |
used |
25 |
|
26 |
--with-dependencies (--no-with-dependencies) |
27 |
Also uninstall packages that depend upon the target |
28 |
|
29 |
Also paludis' equivalent for --depclean (--uninstall-unused) doesn't require |
30 |
you to upgrade everything. ;) |
