Oops, package.provided goes in /etc/portage/profile/ (it's an override for /etc/make.profile). That's probably a common mistake. > app-backup/rsnapshot-1.2.2 > app-backup/bacula-1.48.5 > app-editors/emacs-cvs-24 > > emerge -vp app-editors/emacs-cvs: > These are the packages that would be merged, in order: > Calculating dependencies... done! > [ebuild U ] app-editors/emacs-cvs-22.0.50-r1 [22.0.50] USE="X gif > gtk jpeg nls png spell -Xaw3d -tiff" 0 kB Hmm, the emerge output indicates that app-editors/emacs-cvs-22.0.50 is installed (managed by portage). Normally package.provided is used for packages that aren't managed by portage. Now I'm not sure what you want to accomplish.
