You can see that it is only ever installing one package at a time, so it is not surprising that the same applies to uninstalling. It makes sense, at least from the install perspective, portage checks for file collisions, if two packages tried to install the same file concurrently, it wouldn't be able to deal with the collision. --=20 Neil Bothwick Accordion: a bagpipe with pleats. --Sig_/ACyVdv_8jV7a7zdrM1sTF2k Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlMHyw0ACgkQum4al0N1GQPaGwCgm10eOChAshSmpsMpyE5aYfHr 1fwAniZLrB/u/qA1Xp3aamwKPGlI4eNM =ceZv -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/ACyVdv_8jV7a7zdrM1sTF2k--
