Description Dan Armak (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-06-22 15:47:31 UTC 
Portage 2.0.4, gcc 1.3 (built from the 1.3b tbz2). I didn't see this before on 
my gcc2.x system. 
People on #gentoo-dev confirmed this. 
 
laptop portage # emerge -p mc 
 
These are the packages that I would merge, in order. 
 
Calculating dependencies   !!! Couldn't find match for mc; aborting. 
laptop portage # emerge -p gnome-extra/mc 
 
These are the packages that I would merge, in order. 
 
Calculating dependencies ...done! 
[ebuild   R  ] gnome-extra/mc-4.5.55-r5 to / 
 
laptop portage # emerge -s ^mc 
[ Results for search key : ^mc ]

the 'ed' package has same problem ...
Comment 3 Daniel Robbins (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-06-23 17:30:45 UTC 
This will be fixed in Portage 2.0.5.  Caused by an unnecessary length check on
dependencies, causing ones of length 2 or less to be (incorrectly) marked invalid.
