Don't think I can use the eclean -d -n for singular packages. As I understand |
| 27 |
it all non-installed packages will be removed, which not what I want. |

If I use rm to manually get rid of a single package, all its metadata will |
| 30 |
still be left in /usr/portage/packages/Packages. Does this matter? Which |
| 31 |
function uses the information this file and how might it be affected if the |
| 32 |
binary package has been removed manually? |
