Yes, this is a known problem.

It has to do with portage not liking dynamic SRC_URIs.
Comment 2 Henrik Brix Andersen 2004-12-14 08:17:34 UTC 
We need to come up with a solution to this...
Comment 3 Eldad Zack (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-12-18 05:28:02 UTC 
brix, kismet can't depend on a specific version of ethereal, as it is not slotted.
Comment 4 Henrik Brix Andersen 2004-12-19 01:17:05 UTC 
Any suggestion to how we tackle this problem?
Comment 5 Henrik Brix Andersen 2004-12-27 08:57:01 UTC 
net-wireless/kismet now depends on >=net-analyzer/ethereal-${ETHEREAL_VERSION} instead of =net-analyzer/ethereal-${ETHEREAL_VERSION}.

Closing as FIXED InCVS.
