when I do emerge lout >= zlib-1.1.4 it says: Please report this ebuild error
phoenix, please make sure to _use repoman_ to verify ebuilds _before_ you commit them, The ebuild for lout is ridiculous -- Author field in the header, comments retained from the skel.ebuild, etc. And this dependency on zlib is just wrong. Please clean it up.
Sorry for that - i fixed this mess. Anyways, the dependency looks like a portage bug to me. -phoen][x-
