Your /etc/portage/profile/package.provided file is correct. Unfortunately, in this case, the dependency is on virtual/emacs. Add "virtual/emacs app-editors/emacs-cvs" to /etc/portage/profile/virtuals and it will quit trying to install emacs. This tells portage to use app-editors/emacs-cvs to satisfy the virtual instead of the default of app-editors/emacs. For the second one, you have a typo - it is dev-util/cvs not dev-util*s*/cvs Regards, Paul -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
