I installed texlive and tried now to install lyx, but this has a dependency to dev-tex/dvipost, which also has a dependency to virtua/tetex which does not exist and so it tries to install tetex which crashes with texlive. A solution ist to useing the tex-base virtual which works great. this is a clone of the bug #222553 but this one was closed without solveing the problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge texlive 2.emerge lyx 3. Actual Results: [blocks B ] app-text/tetex (is blocking app-text/texlive-core-2007-r12) Expected Results: no blocking and don't installing tetex.

bah... virtual/tetex exists, its just old style virtual. anyway, it was wrong to depend on it for dvipost, fixed that, thanks.
