[gentoo-user] How to get rid of old gcc?
Hi Gentoo users, I just updated gcc from 4.5.4 to 4.6.3, switched compiler version, rebuilt libtool, but emerge --depclean still does not want to remove old gcc. equery list gcc shows both are still installed: [IP-] [ ] sys-devel/gcc-4.5.4:4.5 [IP-] [ ] sys-devel/gcc-4.6.3:4.6 So how can I now remove the old gcc? I checked again Gentoo GCC Upgrade Guide, but did not find a single word about it... Jarry -- ___ This mailbox accepts e-mails only from selected mailing-lists!

You can use emerge --depclean -p -v gcc:4.5 to view any remaining dependencies on that slotted version. You can use emerge -C gcc:4.5 to remove only that slot's version of gcc.

Even better: emerge -av --depclean gcc:4.5 This will unmerge the gcc slot if and only if there is no dependency. My guess is you have sys-devel/gcc:4.5 in your world file and not just sys-devel/gcc and that's the reason why depclean won't clean it up.

I did not install gcc, I think it came as part of stage3 (system), so why is it suddenly in my world-file? Jarry -- ___ This mailbox accepts e-mails only from selected mailing-lists!

Jarry The only thing that comes to mind is that you once did something like `emerge -avu gcc:4.5`. The behavior of -u/--update changed some time ago so that it now adds packages to world if -1/--oneshot is not specified. Regards, Florian Philipp signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

I just followed it and did only emerge -u gcc... Anyway my problem is now solved. Thanks to all who replied. Jarry -- ___ This mailbox accepts e-mails only from selected mailing-lists!
