Hey!

Say for instance I installed apache just to test a few things and now no
longer need it at all, and *nothing* was compiled USE=apache" or anything.
It was just installed for (literally) under two days. I thought that:

CONFIG_PROTECT="" emerge unmerge apache

would have over-ridden the config protect settings. I'm wrong it seems
since etc was still protected and had to remove a bunch of stuff by hand
still.

Is there an easier way?

And, no, etc-update didn't remove them for me.

Thanx,
Matt

Just guessing, but try CONFIG_PROTECT="-*" instead.
