Subject: [gentoo-user] package.provided messes up emerging of package slots?
Date: Mon, 12 Sep 2011 18:41:37 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <j4l983$6r4$1@dough.gmane.org> (raw)

In my /etc/portage/profile/package.provided, I have this:

   media-libs/freetype-1.4_pre20080316-r2

When I try to emerge freetype however, instead of emerging the newer 
version, I get:

   $ emerge freetype

   WARNING: A requested package will not be merged because it is listed
   in package.provided:

     freetype pulled in by 'args'

   Nothing to merge; would you like to auto-clean packages? [Yes/No]

Trying "emerge freetype:2" also won't work.  The only only to emerge it 
seems is by using the whole version ("emerge =freetype-2.4.6").  Is this 
a bug?
