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 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
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.
try e-mailing upstream, we dont maintain this package [giorgio@mysite@org]
