Description Sven 2004-03-27 17:05:06 UTC

hi,

the tcptraceroute ebuild contains the follwoing:
DEPEND="net-libs/libpcap
        <net-libs/libnet-1.1
        >=net-libs/libnet-1.0.2a-r3"

the intension is clear:
tcptraceroute depends on libnet, but it muts be a version <1.1 and >=1.0.2a but the portage wants to install libnet-1.0.2a (which satisfies <1.1) and libnet-1.1.1 (which satisfies >1.0.2a).

this is either a bug in the portage or a bug in the ebuild.
if there is nothing to express something like ">=a and <b", than it is a bug - or let's say insufficiency - of the portage. is there is an appropriate for doing that, than please fix the ebuild.
