Portage records a checksum for each file it installs, that's how it known not to delete files that were not installed by the ebuild it is unmerging. equery has an option to check packages against these equery check --only-failures '*' Note that it will show failures on any files that have been modified since installation, such as configuration and data files, so you'll have to check these manually, but if a library or executable shows up you almost certainly have a problem. -- Neil Bothwick Wow!
