Yes I saw that too, But that wasn't necessary before. So maybe new?
But it also raises another question. The emacs I wanted to keep is an
older version than the newest in portage. So do I enter that version?
That is, will portage just ignore the fact that there is a newer
version. Or does it mean I need to put the newest version number in
/etc/portage/profile/package.provided
even though that isn't what I have?
