 |

Hey folks. This is a question about updating configuration files recommended by portage.
I had a few recommended config files to update as I was in the process of updating my system. I went through most of them and only had a couple issues.
1. dispatch-conf - u removed me from /etc/sudoers and since I manually disabled the root passwd during my gentoo install I had to chroot into a live environment and fix. This only took me 15 minutes but I would like to avoid making the same mistake again. I may switch to doas anyway so this is not a huge priority if no one is sure what happened.
2. It keeps saying I need to update the config file for gui-wm/river. That's fine... except I don't have gui-wm/river installed. I was going to give it a try when I was installing gentoo a month or so ago, but decided not to. I just used xmonad instead which I have always liked.
So I tried to run | Code: | | sudo emerge --deselect gui-wm/river |
to which I get the output: | Code: | | >>> No matching atoms found in "world" favorites file... |
So then I decided to manually rm this config file that needs updating.... /etc/portage/package.use/river does not exist..
So the prompt to update this config file is annoying. What should I do to resolve it?
Thanks in advance!

It's generally best to show the command that generates the error or output in question.
This should show any relevant files: | Code: | | find /etc/ -type f -name "*._cfg*" -exec ls -l {} \+ |
