7 The behaviour is correct. The depstring in question was
8 "!<app-text/hunspell-1.0", which means that you can't have <hunspell-1.0
9 and kdelibs installed on a system at the same time. Reason for this
10 could e.g. be file collisions that got fixed in hunspell-1.0.

12 If the depstring was "!<app-text/hunspell-1.0 app-text/hunspell", (same
13 as ">=app-text/hunspell-1.0", just retarded) repoman would complain loudly.
