Description Edvard Fagerholm 2004-07-21 01:44:35 UTC 
Portage doesn't understand virtual dependencies correctly. If you do something like:

emerge -ep xorg-x11 xfrisk

then both xfree and xorg-x11 are included in the output. Portage should take into account that the first ebuild already provides virtual/X and thus tell the next package i.e. xfrisk that X is already installed.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -pe xorg-x11 xfrisk
2.
3.

portage version?
Comment 2 Nicholas Jones (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-07-23 11:13:32 UTC 
portage-2.0.51 should be capable of this.
Comment 3 Nicholas Jones (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-10-22 08:47:54 UTC 
Bug has been fixed and released in stable portages on or before 2.0.51-r2
