Hello, as I did not find the virtual/mailx resolution issue I'm facing, here's my report: Installed: virtual/mailx-3:0/0::gentoo mail-client/s-nail-14.9.22:0/0::gentoo As I'm trying to update kde-plasma/plasma-meta, Portage is wrongly bugging me to install net-mail/mailutils, even though mail-client/s-nail is installed.

1. What happens if you try do a world upgrade first? emerge -a -uvDU @world 2. Then depclean. 3. Then run it again? May be better for #gentoo.
(Would also be interesting to know what happened if you temporarily masked mailutils).

As I wiggled around this bug already, I can only imagine, Portage would have presented the same blocking issue with mail-client/mailx, as it is virtual/mailx's second || dependency.

Sure. It wasn't clear if it was a support query or not and I wanted to poke more at the situation but it's gone now. > > > (Would also be interesting to know what happened if you temporarily masked mailutils). > > As I wiggled around this bug already, I can only imagine, Portage would have > presented the same blocking issue with mail-client/mailx, as it is > virtual/mailx's second || dependency. There's not much we can do to investigate this if you've already fixed it then. I wanted to know what would happen if you tried to force it to use s-nail and if it saw earlier on that mailutils would not be an option. Portage uses priorities. It's not clear to me how you've wiggled around it though. Anyway, this is probably a duplicate of bug 814335. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 814335 ***
