Bugzilla Bug 138392

I've got a problem with emerging glest:
emerge -vp glest

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

Same was with scorched3d.

The bug is apparently in glest's dependencies. It lists an ancient version of
openal as a dependency and reckons that 0.0.8 is not sufficient (which it most
definitely is). May the maintainer of glest take a look at this?

Antoni.

I'm just curious, but why are you using the freealut packages anyway?  Anything
that depends on it directly should still be masked, as the split packages are
still not completely ready to be used.

(Though I did just fix it... ;p)
