There is a slight misspelling in the alsa-lib ebuild: the pkg_postinst() section shows "alsa-drivers" when the package is actually "alsa-driver" (no "s") I almost filed a bug to say there is the "alsa-drivers" package does not exist and so the pkg_postinst() section of alsa-lib can be removed. But then I realized it was just a misspelling :-) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge alsa-lib Actual Results: pkg_postinst() { elog "Please try in-kernel ALSA drivers instead of the alsa-drivers ebuild." elog "If alsa-drivers works for you where a *recent* kernel does not, we want " elog "to know about this. Our e-mail address is alsa-bugs@gentoo.org" elog "However, if you notice no sound output or instability, please try to " elog "upgrade your kernel to a newer version first." } Expected Results: pkg_postinst() { elog "Please try in-kernel ALSA drivers instead of the alsa-driver ebuild." elog "If alsa-driver works for you where a *recent* kernel does not, we want " elog "to know about this. Our e-mail address is alsa-bugs@gentoo.org" elog "However, if you notice no sound output or instability, please try to " elog "upgrade your kernel to a newer version first." } There are two occurrences of this misspelling in the ebuild. I don't know if other ALSA-related ebuilds have this misspelling as well. Perhaps this message could be displayed only if the user has alsa-driver installed? I don't have it installed and *do* have the in-kernel ALSA drivers installed, but I still get the warning to use the in-kernel drivers "instead" of the alsa-driver package. Perhaps rather than fixing the misspelling, the name of the package actually should be plural? (I don't know)
