Description Oliver Schoett 2004-02-15 05:57:55 UTC 
Currently none of the development-sources ebuilds in portage (2.6.1, 2.6.2, 2.6.3_rc1, 2.6.3_rc2) provide virtual/linux-sources.

The ugly effect of this can be a blocked portage like this:

# emerge -p -Du world

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

Calculating world dependencies /
!!! all ebuilds that could satisfy ">=virtual/linux-sources-2.4" have been masked.
!!! possible candidates are:
- sys-kernel/vanilla-prepatch-sources-2.4.25_pre8 (masked by: ~keyword)
- sys-kernel/vanilla-prepatch-sources-2.4.25_rc1 (masked by: ~keyword)
- sys-kernel/vanilla-prepatch-sources-2.4.25_pre7 (masked by: ~keyword)
- sys-kernel/vanilla-prepatch-sources-2.4.25_pre4 (masked by: ~keyword)
- sys-kernel/vanilla-prepatch-sources-2.4.25_rc2 (masked by: ~keyword)
!!!    (dependency required by "media-video/ati-drivers-3.7.0" [ebuild])

!!! Problem with ebuild media-video/ati-drivers-3.7.0
!!! Possibly a DEPEND/*DEPEND problem.

!!! Depgraph creation failed.

development-sources does provide it (it's part of the kernel-2 eclass).
Comment 2 Oliver Schoett 2004-02-15 11:53:32 UTC 
Ok, sorry, didn't know that.  It is indeed recorded properly in /var/db/pkg/sys-kernel/development-sources-2.6.0/PROVIDE:
virtual/linux-sources virtual/alsa

Must be an instance of Bug #5121 then.
