Description Sam Iam 2004-06-22 10:46:15 UTC

emerge wants to install alsa-driver as a dependancy of arts-1.2.3 (which wants to install a 2.4 series kernel). I have a 2.6 kernel and can do without both of these packages.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. install a 2.6 series kernel
2. emerge -UDp --tree arts
3.

Nope, your dep is on virtual/alsa, which on your machine is being satisfied by the alsa-driver.  You'll need to modify your world/virtuals file to fix it, but it's a local issue.  forums.gentoo.org can help you here.
