What is probably the problem is that you look to your local virtuals file |
| 24 |
and the issue is with the global virtuals file. In the global virtuals |
| 25 |
file there can only be one package to satisfy a virtual. As a result for |
| 26 |
any package depending on a specific virtual version the default virtual |
| 27 |
must provide this version. |
