[gentoo-user] python2.4 directory

[gentoo-user] python2.4 directory

[Dirk Uys]

Hi

I noticed that I still had python-2.4 on my system. Did a quick run of
python-updater, to make sure nothing is using python-2.4 anymore and
then unmerged python2.4.

Should I manually remove /usr/lib64/python2.4, or is there a way to
make portage do it?

Regards
Dirk

Just run: emerge --depclean -a python
You should get something like this:

 dev-lang/python
    selected: 2.4.4-r14
 protected: none
   omitted: 2.5.2-r7
 >>> 'Selected' packages are slated for removal.
 >>> 'Protected' and 'omitted' packages will not be removed.

Would you like to unmerge these packages? [Yes/No]


Best regards,

He already told us that he unmerged python.

If you have successfully migrated to python 2.5 you should normally be
able to remove this directory as this are probably leftovers from the
old install where portage can do nothing about.
To be save, what are the contents of this directory? Just
site-packages with byte compiled python modules?

The only remaining contents was two broken symlinks in the
site-packages directory. I proceeded and manually removed the
directory. I'm not expecting any problems, was just wondering why
portage didn't remove this empty directories for me? Guess the broken
symlinks may have played a role.

Thanks for the suggestions

Portage won't remove non-empty directories or files it did not create.

Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue.
