[gentoo-user] Can portage clean up after a failed installation?

[gentoo-user] Can portage clean up after a failed installation?

[Jules Colding]

Hi,

I've just tried to install nexuiz. Unfortunately it failed with "[Errno
28] No space left on device". 

I can see that some files was installed. Can portage clean those up by
itself or do I have to do it manually?

Thanks,
  jules

Easier that manually, but still not ideal:
# Free up some space
emerge nexuiz
emerge -C nexuiz

The problem was that nexuiz didn't install due to lack of space on
device. Anyway, I removed old kernel sources and ended up with plenty of
room left.

Portage probably left a dir names /var/db/pkg/games-fps/-MERGING-nexuiz-*. 
Simply renaming that dir to remove the -MERGING- allows you to unmerge 
whatever was already merged...

# cd /var/db/pkg/games-fps
# mv -- {-MERGING-,}nexuiz-*
# emerge -Cva nexuiz

Exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks a lot!

Good! Now do as Boyd has suggested. That will install it and clean up 
afterwards.
