However, the fact that Portage currently accepts it is tangentially related to the matter at hand, because it's a piece of code that may get confused by this sort of ambiguity. Fortunately it's (relatively speaking) trivial to fix, because the ambiguity only happens due to behaviour that shouldn't really be there. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
