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...

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.
