Question: do you have a gentoo-sources less than 2.6.20-r6 installed? |
23 |
If not, then the output is appropriate (can't unmerge what you haven't |
24 |
merged). |

The "NS" indicates that this version (2.6.20-r5) is not installed, which |
41 |
would make sense if the answer to the above question is yes. |
42 |
|
43 |
e.g: |
44 |
$ epm -q automake |
45 |
automake-1.9.6-r2 |
46 |
automake-1.10 |
47 |
automake-1.7.9-r1 |
48 |
automake-1.8.5-r3 |
49 |
automake-1.5 |
50 |
automake-1.6.3 |
51 |
|
52 |
$ emerge -Cp '<automake-1.7' |
53 |
|
54 |
>>> These are the packages that would be unmerged: |
55 |
|
56 |
sys-devel/automake |
57 |
selected: 1.5 1.6.3 |
58 |
protected: none |
59 |
omitted: 1.9.6-r2 1.10 1.7.9-r1 1.8.5-r3 |
60 |
|
61 |
$ emerge -Cp '<automake-1.5' |
62 |
|
63 |
>>> These are the packages that would be unmerged: |
64 |
|
65 |
--- Couldn't find '<automake-1.5' to unmerge. |
