Typing 'man portage' I can find the rules to manage virtuals via /etc/portage/make.profile/virtuals. I believe that the mentioned rules are outdated. Here is a discussion with dol-sen about: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=7106942 Searching the manpage for the 'virtuals' keyword gives 4 occurrences. Regards, HUJuice
I've added a note about GLEP 37: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/portage.git;a=commit;h=76fcf8c48671e970169de6ae025d7a0a2e75a8a9
This is fixed in 2.1.11.10 and 2.2.0_alpha121.
