I've created my own suspendable kernel, and thus added the line "sys-kernel/suspend2-sources-2.6.14_rc3" to "/etc/portage/profile/package.provided" (my kernel is 2.6.14_rc3). Now, when trying to emerge world, alsa-lib thinks it should emerge "sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.13-r5". I'd guess somehow it accidently depends on the gentoo-sources instead of the generic kernel instance. Also adding "sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-2.6.14_rc3" (which does excist as an ebuild) to package.provided doesn't fix the problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. uninstall all your kernels from portage 2. install a kernel yourself -- alsa-lib now wants the gentoo-sources. Not a problem, because gentoo-sources are the default kernel, and as far as gentoo knows, there isn't any available yet -- 3. add non-gentoo kernel sources to package.provided Actual Results: emerge -vauDN world wants to install gentoo-sources-2.6.13-r5 found out after experimenting with package.mask this is a dependency of alsa-lib-1.0.9 Expected Results: emerge -vauDN world doesn't want to install gentoo-sources-2.6.13-r5, because there is already a kernel installed wolrd file: sys-fs/squashfs-tools media-video/ogle net-misc/openvpn net-misc/xsupplicant dev-lang/swi-prolog-lite media-sound/alsa-utils games-emulation/dosbox app-shells/bash-completion games-emulation/epsxe www-client/lynx sys-kernel/linux-headers www-client/links www-servers/monkeyd dev-db/phpmyadmin media-video/mplayer media-sound/xmms app-cdr/k3b dev-php/php media-libs/alsa-lib app-office/openoffice-bin media-gfx/gqview media-sound/timidity-shompatches media-sound/vkeybd media-sound/rosegarden media-gfx/xfig net-misc/dhcpcd games-emulation/zsnes app-pda/jpilot sys-power/cpuspeedy www-apps/phpmp games-emulation/psemu-padjoy sys-libs/glibc www-client/mozilla-firefox media-sound/rhythmbox sys-power/acpid net-fs/nfs-utils app-arch/gzip app-admin/ide-smart net-misc/tightvnc media-video/xine-ui media-sound/timidity++ app-text/xpdf mail-client/mozilla-thunderbird x11-wm/fluxbox app-portage/gentoolkit media-gfx/imagemagick media-sound/timidity-eawpatches media-sound/mpd net-wireless/ndiswrapper app-editors/vim sys-apps/vbetool last emerge-vauDN world: 2 day's ago

Won't work, you need something like: echo "sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-2.6.99" >> /etc/portage/profile/package.provided echo "virtual/alsa sys-kernel/vanilla-sources" >> /etc/portage/profile/virtuals echo "virtual/linux-sources sys-kernel/vanilla-sources" >> /etc/portage/profile/virtuals
