Re: [gentoo-user] How to safely unmerge a package

[Catalin Grigoroscuta]

Hi, Thanks a lot for the replies, I managed to get qpkg working. However, it's very interesting that I asked for a way to achieve the functionality of a deprecated tool with the current tools. Everybody explained to me how to obtain the deprecated tool, yet nobody answered to "how to do this with the new tools". So, what is the reason for qpkg is deprecated, after all?

You can move it to /usr/local/bin from its current location of /usr/share/doc/gentoolkit-<version>/deprecated/qpkg/qpkg Or you could link it? # ln -s /usr/share/doc/gentoolkit-<version>/deprecated/qpkg/qpkg /usr/bin/qpkg
