Hi, I'm having a bit of trouble with the package.provided feature. I've build a new version of Jack that is not available in portage. It was my understanding that I could tell emerge to not emerge lower version of Jack by placing the following info in /etc/portage/package.provided:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ cat /etc/portage/package.provided =media-sound/jack-audio-connection-kit-0.102.7 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ (I tried with and without the '=') However it is not working for me: lightning ~ # emerge -pv --deep --update world These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies !!! Packages for the following atoms are either all !!! masked or don't exist: media-tv/mythtv ...done!
