~3 1/2 years old version bump *g*, looks like rewrite from scratch according to CL. Works here. ;)
Created attachment 141592 [details, diff] picky-0.5.1.ebuild.diff
Actually, I've had problems with the new version of picky. I can't recall exactly what now, but it was enough that I did not version-bump at the time. I'll take a look at this when I get a chance to see if I can remember/reproduce the issues.
Well, Options does nothing, that might be it. ;) I'll look at it when I have time; marking LATER meanwhile.
