Is something more than creating and editing the subject file required? I don't see any difference in emerge -v -p output having created it. Maybe its not correct: cat /etc/portage/profile/package.provided --- dev-utils/cvs-1.12.11 app-editors/emacs-cvs-22.0.50.1 --- emerge -v -p emacs-w3m These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!
