Yes, this is a known problem.

It has to do with portage not liking dynamic SRC_URIs.

We need to come up with a solution to this...

brix, kismet can't depend on a specific version of ethereal, as it is not
slotted.

Any suggestion to how we tackle this problem?

------- Comment #5 From Henrik Brix Andersen 2004-12-27 08:57:01 0000 ------- 
net-wireless/kismet now depends on >=net-analyzer/ethereal-${ETHEREAL_VERSION}
instead of =net-analyzer/ethereal-${ETHEREAL_VERSION}.

Closing as FIXED InCVS.
