Q1: I emerged <package>, how do I uninstall it?
A: You can uninstall a package by running:
| Code: | | emerge -C <package> |
Q2: Yeah, but I have more than one version of this package installed, and only want uninstall one of them. How do I do that?
A: You can uninstall a specific version of a package by running:
| Code: | | emerge -C =package-version |
You can also use the operators >, >=, <=, < and ~. Note that you may have to escape or quote the command in that case:
| Code: | emerge -C \<package-version
emerge -C "<package-version" |
Q3: I tried to use emerge --prune (-P), but it wanted to remove a new version in favour of an old. How come?
A: The prune options assumes you want to keep the version that was last emerged. For instance, if you run emerge -e world, it isn't necessary the case that the highest version of a slotted package is installed last.
For further information please also take a look at:
| Code: | emerge --help
man portage |
Please also read the FAQ SA5: Things to not unmerge or remove.
