Hi,
you could also have used 'emerge --unmerge' which support dependency
matching allowing you to for example unmerge every application lower
than a certain version. It also defaults to not erase the latest version
of an application, but letting you have a working version on your system
at all times. Read 'emerge --help' for exact details.
Best regards,
Geert Bevin
