[gentoo-user] Question about package.provided

2006-06-01 Thread Mark Knecht

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

  What mistake am I making?

Thanks,

The file should be /etc/portage/profile/package.provided
