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?
