I want to uninstall mozilla, but emerge -c mozilla fails:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
vulpec ~ # emerge -c mozilla
net-www/mozilla
selected: 1.0-r1
protected: 1.1_beta
omitted: none
.
.
.
.
.
--- !empty dir /usr/bin
--- !empty dir /usr
--- !empty dir /etc/env.d
--- !empty dir /etc
--- !targe sym /usr/include/mozilla
chmod: failed to get attributes of `//usr/lib/mozilla/component.reg': No such
file or directory
!!! pkg_postrm() script failed; exiting.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Is there an feature like --force for emerge or other ways to deinstall the
older version?
Thx for answer,
Bastian Fuchs

Edit the ebuild in
/var/db/pkg/net-www/mozilla-<version>/mozilla-<version>.ebuild
And remove pkg_postrm(). Then try to unmerge again.
