Subject: [gentoo-user] virtual/shadow
Date: Mon, 12 Mar 2012 14:05:21 -0400 (EDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1669924605.604523.1331575521916.JavaMail.open-xchange@email.1and1.com> (raw)

 These virtual apps are irritating me, and the fanboi answers in #gentoo
are worse.

What is the purpose of virtual/shadow and why would I want it?

Today's update output:

server ~ # emerge -aDjNquv world
[ebuild  N    ] virtual/shadow-0

Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No] No

Quitting.
