Just did an 'emerge rsync' and then: # emerge --pretend net-dialup/pptpd These are the packages that I would merge, in order. Calculating dependencies \ !!! Error: couldn't find match for virtual/pppd in net-dialup/pptpd-1.1.2 I guess this must be a bug.. 'emerging net-dialup/ppp' first fixes it.
if the pppd daemon really should be a virtual, then we have to add the following line to the file /etc/make.profile/virtuals (i think): virtual/pppd net-dialup/ppp hope this is the solution... hanez... :-)
Yep, except that the right file seems to be /usr/portage/profiles/default-1.0/virtuals (/etc/make.profile usually is a symlink). Thanks.
i know that... the path was shorter this way... ;-) what about the other profiles? do they need the line too??? i think they also must have the line add to the virtuals file. or what happens when ermerging pptpd on a ppc or sparc??? hanez... ;-)
