Ok, I'm a little gun shy to post this now but I'm still seeing somethign screwy. cat /etc/portage/package.provided app-backup/rsnapshot-1.2.2 app-backup/bacula-1.48.5 app-editors/emacs-cvs-24 emerge -vp app-editors/emacs-cvs: These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild U ] app-editors/emacs-cvs-22.0.50-r1 [22.0.50] USE="X gif gtk jpeg nls png spell -Xaw3d -tiff" 0 kB Man portage mentions a version must be included: Format: - comments begin with # - one DEPEND atom per line - relational operators are not allowed - must include a version It also says: . . . . . . Portage will not attempt to update a package that is listed here unless another package explicitly requires a version that is newer than what has been listed. So I thought maybe it didn't like my fake version so changed it to: app-editors/emacs-cvs-22.0.50-r1 And I still get the same output. Removing the -r1 since its not really emacs versioning and I still get the same output... Something is making emerge ignore this package.provided -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
