Description Frantz Dhin 2003-04-14 16:50:34 UTC
root@entropy app-emulation # emerge -p foobar 
 
These are the packages that I would merge, in order: 
 
Calculating dependencies 
emerge: there are no masked or unmasked ebuilds to satisfy "foobar". 
 
!!! Error calculating dependancies. Please correct. 
 
In the last line it should be "dependencies" and not "dependancies". Please fix as it 
bothers the crap out of me. :) In general though this output is not pretty at all. Is 
there not a rule in the english language stating that the first letter after a colon has 
to be capitalized so that it would be "emerge: There" instead of "emerge: there"? 
How about changing the error message so that it instead says 
Error:  emerge: There are no masked or unmasked ebuilds to satisfy "foobar". 
and maybe has a little indentation and colour on it too. 
 
Don't let aesthetics be the first victim of effective computing :)

Actually... The first letter after a colon is never capitalized unless
its a proper noun. It follows the general rules. In cases of formatting,
such as this, it's solely up to whomever writes it.

It's slightly prettier in >=48_pre3
