 |

I just upgraded sdl-mixer from 1.2.6 to 1.2.6-r1, but portage crashes when it tries to unmerge the old version. What does the error below mean, and how can I fix it?
| Code: |
root@computer schmobag # emerge --unmerge =media-libs/sdl-mixer-1.2.6
media-libs/sdl-mixer
selected: 1.2.6
protected: none
omitted: 1.2.6-r1
>>> 'Selected' packages are slated for removal.
>>> 'Protected' and 'omitted' packages will not be removed.
>>> Waiting 5 seconds before starting...
>>> (Control-C to abort)...
>>> Unmerging in: 5 4 3 2 1
>>> Unmerging media-libs/sdl-mixer-1.2.6...
No package files given... Grabbing a set.

I don't believe you need to unmerge the old version when upgrading. Emerging an upgrade takes care of that for you.

Are you using any third-party portage-speedup utils? If not, it looks like a bug in portage. Try emerge --sync and then re-emerge portage. If the problem persists, file a bug. |

icantux: I must not have been clear enough. Both automatic and manual unmerges failed with the same error.
After emerging the new version, portage tried to unmerge the old version, and crashed, as seen above. Portage is actually pretty smart. On subsequent emerges of different packages, portage would realize there was an old sdl-mixer install that needed to be cleaned up, and try to unmerge it again, and crash again, with the same error as seen above. If I tried to manually unmerge it, same result.
PaulBredbury: Good idea, but no, I'm not using any speedup utils.
I eventually solved the problem by manually removing the portage db reference to the old version:
| Code: | rm /var/db/pkg/media-libs/sdl-mixer-1.2.6/ -rf
|
I figure that since it was only a minor version upgrade, the old files were probably all overwritten anyway. All I have to do to finish the cleanup is delete the documentation folder:
| Code: | | rm /usr/share/doc/sdl-mixer-1.2.6 -rf |
EDIT: I should add that doing an emerge --sync and remerging portage had no effect. |
