1 How to remove a binary package?
2
3 I may have a need to install one or more binary packages to fix
4 a problem I'm having. These are ones that have been made for
5 my system during normal emerges, but have since been pruned from
6 the system.
7
8 My question: how to clean up when I'm done? A cursory look at
9 the packages makes me think they're plain tar archives with no
10 metadata. How do I get rid of them when I'm done with them?
11
12 Or must I install them using some tool that creates the metadata?
