Paludis doesn't currently pay any attention to package renames, since we haven't found a good way of doing them. The easy way of handling it is to uninstall and reinstall. Note that because Paludis tries to enforce run deps of installed packages, you'll get warnings once you install the new package name. This is pretty much unavoidable -- it's a deficiency in the way package renames are handled in the tree that no-one's cared to fix because Portage doesn't work well enough to be affected by it. -- Ciaran McCreesh
