"Well, duh...." I know, I know.... When I do an emerge --update --pretend apache I am told that apache 2.x will be installed. I am using apache 1.3.x and using the -apache2 flag. It would be nice if apache itself actually honored that flag and that ebuild was not considered for update. I have no idea if Portage can actually do this (have a USE flag dunk the whole ebuild and not just a dependancy). Thx Pat Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
its a SLOT issue ... there is also other bugs related to preventing packages being emerged based upon things you have - in your USE flag, but eh, crawl bugzilla for it ;) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 4698 ***
