media-plugins/mythweather-0.18.1: attr(depends) error: atom '~media-tv/mythtv-0.18.1*' is malformed: error range operators on a range are nonsencial, drop the globbing or use =cat/pkg* or !=cat/pkg*, not ~ As noted above, either glob or use =, but not ~ or </>
Your entire report was non-sensical.. Explain what half of this means... All the MythTV 0.18.1 plugins are gone from the tree... but soon there will be new stuff in the tree. where XXXX < YYYY and AAAA < BBBB media-tv/mythtv-0.20 media-tv/mythtv-0.20-r1 media-tv/mythtv-0.20_pXXXX media-tv/mythtv-0.20.1_preYYYY media-plugins/mythweather-0.20 media-plugins/mythweather-0.20_pAAAA media-plugins/mythweather-0.20.1_preBBBB Gimme a DEPEND that will properly have ALL the mythweathers work with ALL the mythtv's. I've asked #-portage for this several times in the past. I've even asked Brian recently and all I get is a shrug... I'd love to have a correct DEPEND...

Looking at the manpage for ebuild I see this is a bit ambigious, so I may go straighten them a bit.
Also, thanks for fixing.
