It's an issue for people who have packages in vdb emerged with portage older than 2.1.4 (if this was the version where the env started being added to vdb). I have been maintaining the position that nuking eclasses doesn't really provide enough benefits to bork these installs. I recommend just making the eclasses unusable for emerging stuff and keeping uninstalls working. Regards, Petteri
