What happened to pine-maildir? It just disappeared from /usr/portage/mail-client. (Causing error messages in emerge -pv world) If I now emerged mail-client/pine, what would happen? pine is not blocked by pine-maildir, and how could it be, the latter missing. So in the best case the new pine would work just fine (how, would it propose to use my maildir or maybe detect it automatically?), but pine-maildir would remain as garbage unless the poor user is clever enough to remove it (would emerge -C work with the ebuild missing?) But in the worst (likely?) case the new pine would just break maildir support and I wouldn't be able to read mail with pine.
No, it didn't disappear, it's been moved to mail-client/pine-maildir. If you get dependency issues, you need to post the output of emerge, we cannot guess.

That's the old location. The new one is /dev/null :) $ find /usr/portage/ -name 'pine*' -maxdepth 2 /usr/portage/app-crypt/pinentry /usr/portage/mail-client/pine /usr/portage/mail-client/pinepgp $ ls -d /usr/portage/mail-client/pine* /usr/portage/mail-client/pine /usr/portage/mail-client/pinepgp # emerge -pv pine-maildir These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "pine-maildir". # emerge -pv pine These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

The new one is /dev/null :) Come again next time with full ebuild name including category in bug summary, it will save time and confusion. I looked into net-mail/ in CVS originally and saw that it's been moved to mail-client. http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/mail-client/pine-maildir/?hideattic=0 <snip> Removing pine-maildir because our pine ebuild (4.60) has maildir support. <snip> Just unmerge it, nothing depends on it, emaint has a separate bug that is already fixed in portage-2.1_pre3-r1. Closing, no bug here.
