[gentoo-user] emacs-cvs patch failure

[Harry Putnam]

Anyone else seeing a patch failure in most recent emacs-cvs?

Here I get:
[...]
 * Copying emacs from /usr/portage/distfiles/cvs-src ...
 * CVS module emacs is now in /var/tmp/portage/emacs-cvs-22.0.50-r1/work
 * Applying emacs-subdirs-el-gentoo.diff ...

 * Failed Patch: emacs-subdirs-el-gentoo.diff !
 *  ( /usr/portage/app-editors/emacs-cvs/files/emacs-subdirs-el-gentoo.diff )
 * 
 * Include in your bugreport the contents of:
 * 
 *   /var/tmp/portage/emacs-cvs-22.0.50-r1/temp/emacs-subdirs-el-gentoo.diff-14948.out


!!! ERROR: app-editors/emacs-cvs-22.0.50-r1 failed.
Call stack:
  ebuild.sh, line 1933:   Called dyn_unpack
  ebuild.sh, line 719:   Called src_unpack
  emacs-cvs-22.0.50-r1.ebuild, line 70:   Called epatch 'unpack'

Is it something just getting unpacked wrong and therefore can't be
found or something deeper?

I don't really want to jack around with emacs.  I have it installed
and running fine, and I have in my  /etc/portage/package.provided, 
these lines:

  app-backup/rsnapshot-1.2.2
  app-backup/bacula-1.48.5
  app-editors/emacs-cvs-22.0.50-r1

And man portage says portage will honor what is in there long as some
package does not require a newer version.

The version turning up in update world is:

  [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

And this is where the patch error is coming in, trying to emerge it.

Wrong address for package.provided... it should have been at:
   /etc/portage/profile/package.provided, 

Once put there .. portage noticed it as expected
