And none of that matters as the shell will expand the globs before
locate even sees it at all. Unless you go to extra measures with quotes.
But the whole exercise is completely unnecessary as locate by default

The module is in /usr/share/magick-rotation/gui_gtk.py
You need to read /usr/share/doc/magick-rotation-${PV}/INSTALLER.txt

Move forward to the present day.
What happens when you run out of RAM? You get an out-of-memory error
that a decent app will handle gracefully.
What happens when you have swap and run out of RAM? The kernel starts to
use disk, and goes krunch krunch krunch very slowly for quite a while,
and then you get an out-of-memory error that a decent app will handle
gracefully...
Plus usually when an app starts thrashing to disk, the kernel starts to
struggle mightily and a runaway process starts where slow access causes
more things to swap, which makes even more swap, and then the system
runs out of memory anyway
So why are you using swap at all these days with 16G being common? Do
people have any concept how much memory that is, and what it takes to
fill it? (I've only managed to achieve that with dodgy flash apps on
dodgy sites...)
My advice is to not use swap. Yes, it is counter-intuitive and yes it
goes against the advice you see all over the internet from 1996, and
many people will swear blind that twice ram is perfect ad are terrified
to say otherwise because then they will have been wrong. But I can show
that the advice is cargo-culted and I can show that no-one can defend
that advice. The solution to running out of memory is to get more RAM
(or fix the app that leaks).
Modern kernels DO get nervous if they have no swap at all - it's used
internally. So make a small amount of swap to make the kernel happy, say
64M or so. Yes, megs.
And if your machine sleeps to disk you will need swap large enough to
store the memory image - it has to go somewhere and that is swap.
That's my advice. Now let the nay-sayers begin the argument

More like that IS the upstream icon, and you haven't realised yet it's

Your python targets seems off.
Remove all occurences of python targets and python single targets in
make.conf, leave the decision to portage and the profile.

1000 days uptime these days is stupid. All it proves is that the

This is an expensive operation on SSDs which is why they are delayed. In
theory you could even leave the disk untrim'med until you need the space :-)

quot;old stuff"
IUf you have other versions' cruft still lying around in
/usr/lib64/binutils/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/, then move that junk out the
way and try again. It's very likely dynamic runtime nonsense that
depclean didn't know about

hasn't stated whether he actually uses KDE, though.)
KDE isn't IN @system, but gets pulled in if you use --update --deep
However, there's a way out. @system is a defined set of packages (about
50 or so), not a list of stuff plus all it's deps. So do this:
emerge @system
That should keep everything except the list of system packages out of
the dep graph

ve dealt with java-config-wrapper, mariadb and ruby, try emerge
world again. You will be presented with a whole new bunch of interesting
and fascinating problems to solve, all of which are unique and needs
their own approach. The approach depends of course on the nature of the
problem and you have to run emerge world to see what that is. Rinse,
repeat and keep doing it till portage is happy, your tree is synced and
no problems remain.
[You will probably need to deal with perl-cleaner, python-updater and
the ruby equivalent towards th end, this gets all your modules sync'ed
back up with your version of the interpreter.]
"Gentoo is not for the faint-hearted" is the quote I think most applies
here.

I have several times in the past resolved these by brute force,
unmerging the problem package and the thing it depends or or links to,
then rebuilding both.
Are you by chance running a mixed stable/testing system here?
