Description Stephane Loeuillet 2004-09-16 07:23:44 UTC 
"etcat -v mldonkey" crashed because there are 2 packages by that name (in net-p2p and app-emacs)

etcat -v mldonkey
[ Results for search key           : mldonkey ]
[ Candidate applications found : 9 ]

 Only printing found installed programs.

"emerge mldonkey" would warn in such a case :

emerge mldonkey

it was not working with -rc1, but it works now with -rc6 :

etcat -v mldonkey
