I am following this document
http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/howto-gentoo.phtml

And when I get to emerging pptpconfig:

# emerge -pv pptpconfig

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

So I try to remove the blocker:

# emerge -C =dev-php/php-4.99.99

--- Couldn't find =dev-php/php-4.99.99 to unmerge.

>>> unmerge: No packages selected for removal.


Huh? Okay let's try with the <

# emerge -C <=dev-php/php-4.99.99
-/bin/bash: =dev-php/php-4.99.99: No such file or directory
# emerge -C \<=dev-php/php-4.99.99

--- Couldn't find <=dev-php/php-4.99.99 to unmerge.

>>> unmerge: No packages selected for removal.


Umm, okay fine... let's just be really broad:

# emerge -C php

 dev-php/mod_php
    selected: 4.3.2-r5 4.3.8
   protected: none
     omitted: none

>>> 'Selected' packages are slated for removal.
>>> 'Protected' and 'omitted' packages will not be removed.

>>> Waiting 5 seconds before starting...

>>> Unmerging dev-php/mod_php-4.3.2-r5...
No package files given... Grabbing a set.

QA Notice: ECLASS 'php' inherited illegally in dev-php/mod_php-4.3.2-r5

/usr/lib/portage/bin/ebuild.sh: line 1458:
/var/portage/eclass/php.eclass: No such file or directory

!!! ERROR: dev-php/mod_php-4.3.2-r5 failed.
!!! Function inherit, Line 1459, Exitcode 1
!!! died sourcing /var/portage/eclass/php.eclass in inherit()
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status
message.

!!! FAILED prerm: 1


Note that it troed to unmerge mod_php, when I didn't even say that. Then
I get more errors which I don't understand, anyway.

I have to get <=dev-php/php-4.99.99 unmerged before I can do any of
this, and I'm being ridden pretty hard by my boss..

Any ideas?
