Looks like a portage bug to me. portage should have prevented wtf from being installed.
ive tried to argue for one-way blockers before, but they seem intent on ignoring it
wtf is blocking bsdgames now
And the "games" team scores a fix on a portage bug ;-) Come on, portage should NOT allow the installation of an inconsistent set of packages. Btw, wtf is MY wtf executable?
