Description Sebastian Glita (Soaron) 2004-01-18 05:26:16 UTC 
e.g.:
>>>
root # emerge rox-session -p

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies   

!!! The short ebuild name "rox-session" is ambiguous.  Please specify
!!! one of the following fully-qualified ebuild names instead:

    app-misc/rox-session
    rox-base/rox-session
<<<

but actually I have masked one of them... maybe a check for this would result in only one unmasked packages.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge -p some_package_with_name_clash
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
resolve, if possible, to only one unmasked package.
