I have seen that emerge spends time calculating dependencies for later dying with: # emerge tree Calculating dependencies | [ Results for search key : tree ] * app-text/tree Latest version available: 1.7.0 Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ] Size of files: 46 KiB Homepage: http://mama.indstate.edu/users/ice/tree/ Description: Lists directories recursively, and produces an indented listing of files License: GPL-2 * dev-cpp/tree Latest version available: 2.81 Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ] Size of files: 1.140 KiB Homepage: http://www.aei.mpg.de/~peekas/tree/ Description: An STL-like tree class License: || ( GPL-2 GPL-3 ) [ Applications found : 4 ] !!! The short ebuild name "tree" is ambiguous. Please specify !!! one of the above fully-qualified ebuild names instead. ... done! Wouldn't it be possible to die earlier? As soon as detecting that there are more than one package with the same name :/, otherwise it is spending time calculating dependencies that later it won't use for anything Thanks a lot
