Description Peter Gantner (a.k.a. nephros) 2003-09-10 05:54:31 UTC

I don't know if this is a bug, and even if, it's a trivial one.

I found there are two packages called "analog":
app-admin/analog
app-emacs/analog

Now if I do "emerge -p analog", the emacs package gets selected for emerging.
You have to explicitly emerge app-admin/analog to get the other one.

Probably one of them should be renamed. And portage probably should warn about 
things like this.

Reproducible: Always
