The ganeti ebuild lists: kvm? app-emulation/qemu-kvm Since qemu-kvm-spice is available and fulfills the same purpose it needs to be an option e.g: kvm? ( || ( app-emulation/qemu-kvm app-emulation/qemu-kvm-spice ) ) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge qemu-kvm-spice 2. echo "app-emulation/ganeti drbd kvm" >> /etc/portage/package.use 3. emerge ganeti Actual Results: Ganeti attempts to pull in qemu-kvm: [blocks B ] app-emulation/qemu-kvm-spice ("app-emulation/qemu-kvm-spice" is blocking app-emulation/qemu-kvm-0.13.0-r2) Expected Results: qemu-kvm-spice should be tolerated as an alternative to qemu-kvm - both come from the same source. Editing the ebuild and changing: kvm? app-emulation/qemu-kvm For: kvm? ( || ( app-emulation/qemu-kvm app-emulation/qemu-kvm-spice ) ) Is all that is needed.
Please don't. Check bug 335932 and bug 355513. qemu-kvm-spice should be merged back to qemu-kvm relatively soon.
No problem, wasn't aware of all the changes going on behind the scenes. I'm happy enough to close this off and wait for spice support in qemu-kvm. Thanks for the response.
