Description ndecker 2002-08-28 19:34:12 UTC 
When emerge -S finds an ebuild by description and not by name, the package is
always marked as not installed.

Comment 1 Daniel Robbins (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-08-28 23:07:10 UTC 
Likely caused by syntax error in the ebuild. 2.0.29 / 2.0.30 will show you the
actual error.
