Description gent_bz 2005-05-22 18:02:26 UTC
ltsp depends on net-misc/dhcp to provide a dhcp server.  net-misc/dnsmasq is a
dhcp server, ergo ltsp should be happy with dnsmasq installed.

Bigger picture: more than one package provides a dhcp server.  virtual/dhcpd (to
parallel virtual/dhcpc) would make sense.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
emerge dnsmasq
emerge -p ltsp

Actual Results:  

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies   ...done!

[ebuild  N   ] net-misc/dhcp-3.0.2
[ebuild  N   ] net-misc/ltsp-4.1.1


Expected Results:  

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

[ebuild  N   ] net-misc/ltsp-4.1.1

the rule for virtuals is: no virtual until a dozen deps 
so no virtual for now, but i changed the dep :-)

Fantastic, thanks.

Almost.

You put net-misc/dnsmasq in the ebuild - it should be net-dns/dnsmasq.
