Now to look up package.provided to understand what I did... :-)


You tricking Portage into believing that you already have Kopete, even 
if it isn't true...


Use at your own risk :)

Hello,

I've been using Gaim 2.0.0_rc3 (some `r' version I can't recall) for
some time, due to Kopete's compilation issues.

I also hope Kopete will be fixed.

If you are using the split ebuilds, you have installed a meta package
that contains it. either unmerge the metapackage and emerge the programs
you want, or do

echo "kde-base/kopete-3.5.5-r1" >>/etc/portage/profile/package.provided
