3.5.0 packages should satisfy any such dependencies. Of course, if both 3.5.0 and 3.5.1 are masked in one way or another, portage's message will probably refer to the latest version. Putting 3.5.0* package versions in package.keywords should be sufficient. i've certainly not had anything demand a 3.5.1 package on three very different (but all ~arch) boxes. -- Neil Bothwick Scotty!
