I've got a problem with emerging glest: emerge -vp glest These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

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. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 132826 ***
(Though I did just fix it... ;p)
