Right. > And I need to reinstall qmail so that it's installed as > "virtual/qmail-1.03"? However, why does it say it's a new package? virtual/qmail is just a new package in category 'virtual' ls -la /usr/portage/virtual/ Many, many microseconds ago, the 'virtuals' file in your profile was the only way to specify virtual packages. Now, the second one emerged. vi /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/virtuals vi /usr/portage/profiles/base/virtuals vi /usr/portage/virtual/qmail/qmail-1.03.ebuild > And does that mean that I'll have to unmerge my existing qmail > manually? I humbly believe that you don't need to reinstal qmail. > Also, why is is 1.03 instead of 1.03-r16? They are different packages. The virtual just states that it needs something that is compatible with version 1.03 of qmail. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by "grep -i virus $MESSAGE" Trust me.
