Description Aleksandar Petrinic 2011-06-25 01:13:06 UTC 
Since we have virtual/package-manager we should use it, a package can't derectly depend on portage.

Anyway... the portage-2.0.59 is not in the tree anymore since long time ago. :)

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
Try to remove portage with an alternatives PM which cares about breakages, like paludis: cave resolve '!portage' .

Actual Results:  
X   app-emulation/vmware-server-console 1.0.10.203137:0::installed
    Will be broken by uninstalls:
    Reasons: dependent upon sys-apps/portage-9999:0::installed (DEPEND)
    Cannot proceed without: --uninstalls-may-break or --remove-if-dependent

Expected Results:  
No error or warning about breakages.
