Thank for your reply. The spec file points to the directory that does not contain 'package.provided' Here is what grep says: grep -R 'sys\-kernel' /var/tmp/catalyst/portage/gentoostudio /var/tmp/catalyst/portage/gentoostudio/package.accept_keywords:=sys-kernel/rt-sources-3.10.6_p3 ~amd64 /var/tmp/catalyst/portage/gentoostudio/package.keywords:sys-kernel/rt-sources ~amd64
that is why I was surprised that the message came up.
