[gentoo-user] emerge -C says it is not emerged, but it is. Now what?

[Dale]

Hi folks,

I do a --depclean -p every once in a while.  I did one tonight and it
said musicbrains was not used by anything but k3b.  I checked my USE
line and made sure it was not in there to be used and re-emerged k3b to
make sure it was not compiled with it somehow. 

When I did a emerge -C musicbrainz it said it wasn't found.  Something
like this:

> root@smoker / # emerge -C musicbrains
>
> --- Couldn't find 'musicbrains' to unmerge.
>
> >>> No packages selected for removal by unmerge.

Well, I did a locate for anything containing music and found some left
over stuff from musicbrainz.  Example but not all of it.

> /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libmusicbrainz.pc
> /usr/lib/libmusicbrainz.la
> /usr/lib/libmusicbrainz.so
> /usr/lib/libmusicbrainz.so.4.0.2
> /usr/lib/libmusicbrainz.so.4
> /usr/lib/libmusicbrainz.a

and

> /usr/share/doc/musicbrainz-2.1.4
> /usr/share/doc/musicbrainz-2.1.4/mb_howto.txt.gz
> /usr/share/doc/musicbrainz-2.1.4/README.gz

> /usr/share/doc/musicbrainz-2.1.4/AUTHORS.gz
> /usr/share/doc/musicbrainz-2.1.4/ChangeLog.gz

So, it was there at some point I guess.  Here is my k3b info now, after
the re-emerge:

Question is, since it does not have record of what to remove, how do I
get rid of it without breaking something?  I want to do this in a
"clean" way if possible.  Can I emerge it as a oneshot then unmerge it
or will the mtimes mess up something?  I read mtimes is how portage can
tell if something has been messed with or not since it was merged. 
Teach me something if I am wrong here. 

Thanks in advance for the help.

Never mind.  I typed in musicbrainS instead of musicbrainZ.  I think I
mentioned once before that I needed better glasses, more sense to if I
recall correctly.  LOL

Sorry for the noise.  I'll check my spelling next time.

Try unmerging musicbrainz, not musicbrains. =)

Hope this helps,

Yea, I noticed it later.  I need to get someone to shine a light in my
ear and see if anything is in there.  LOL

Silly me.
