[gentoo-user] How to replace vala:0.46 by vala:0.48
Hi, Having installed vala:0.48 I still cannot un-emerge vala:0.46 because gnome-extra/evolution-data-server depends on it. But I cannot see that dependency in the ebuild. What am I missing? Thanks for a hint, Helmut

This is already against our written policy, but not in practice, because QA and council members regularly do it themselves. Unless a majority of candidates run for council on the platform of actually doing a good job and/or following the rules, we all just have to live with it forever.

Thanks, it turned out that there was an old vala eclass in my local overlay.
