Description Matteo Spreafico 2004-04-04 13:23:04 UTC
If there are two or more packages with the same name, genlop will mix them.

This is an exsample

# genlop libnet
 * net-libs/libnet

     Thu Jan  8 21:44:55 2004 >>> net-libs/libnet-1.1.1
     Thu Jan  8 21:50:28 2004 >>> net-libs/libnet-1.1.1
     Thu Jan  8 22:09:44 2004 >>> dev-perl/libnet-1.17
     Sun Mar 28 20:03:21 2004 >>> net-libs/libnet-1.1.2

Emerge does the right thing

# emerge -p libnet

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

Calculating dependencies

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

    dev-perl/libnet
    net-libs/libnet

Thanks for your bugreport.
The issue here is that genlop works on the "package name" an not on the "category/package name". Therefore you get what you ask for; try using net-libs/libnet instead of simply libnet.

In my opinion, this is not a bug, it's a feature.
