When I want to upgrade the package called rsync I write: $ emerge rsync Which performs an rsync instead (of course) Bit then I figured since I want to upgrade libxml2 aswell I write: $ emerge rsync libxml2 or $ emerge libxml2 rsync Which performs an rsync instead. Hrm. Bug or not, it's peculiar.
So I want to find the group rsynx is in, and I do like this: # emerge --search rsync No search terms provided. eek!
ok, the fix to the first problem is to specify the category. The "no category" specification is more of a convenience thing anyway and I won't go out of my way to prevent name collisions. The second problem has been fixed in the 1.8.9_pre series that will be coming soon to a Gentoo Linux near you :)
