Description csights 2005-02-17 10:46:33 UTC

Hello,
   If xorg-x11 has been emerged with USE="opengl" and then later emerged with USE="-opengl", the file /var/cache/edb/virtuals continues to contain the line
"virtual/opengl x11-base/xorg-x11"

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. USE="opengl" emerge xorg-x11
2. USE="-opengl" emerge xorg-x11




Expected Results:  
Expect that the line in /var/cache/edb/virtuals
"virtual/opengl x11-base/xorg-x11"
is removed.


This is a problem because other packages which depend on opengl fail to compile.

You neglected to provided "emerge info"...

If you are using 2.0.50, USE-based virtual provides are not supported. If you are using 2.0.51, /var/cache/edb/virtuals is no longer used.
