I am running a 2.6.6 epia patched kernel on my mini-itx system and now when alsa versions 1.0.5 came out running emerge -up world gives as the last ebuild to install/update: [ebuild N ] media-sound/alsa-driver-1.0.5 I understand that it's not a dependency from any ebuild, but it get's still listed in my ebuilds to update. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -up world Actual Results: My systems should not need the alsa-driver 1.0.5 ebuild. Expected Results: Ignore it?

please post emerge -p unmerge alsa-driver
>>> These are the packages that I would unmerge: media-sound/alsa-driver selected: 1.0.4-r1 protected: none omitted: none Okay, I thought I had unmerged already the alsa-driver I had with the 2.4 kernel on that host and was pretty sure of it, wouldn't had done this bug report otherwise. Sorry. Unmerged it and now the situation is okay...
