[ Results for search key : nfs-utils ] [ Applications found : 1 ] * net-fs/nfs-utils Latest version available: 0.3.3-r1 Latest version installed: 1.0.1 Homepage: http://nfs.sourceforge.net/ Description: kernel NFS client and server daemons Well, I've just installed nfs-utils-1.0.1 with the following command: # ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -u nfs-utils Moreover, note that the ${DESCRIPTION} belongs to the 0.3.3-r1 ebuild. Same behavior with portage .39. However, I also have the nfs-utils-1.0.1.ebuild in $PORTDIR_OVERLAY. Maurizio
