6 i would try it but it is not "a good way" no ?
7
8 really, the system is searching for virtual/mta which can be filled by
9 mail-mta/qmail.
10
11 this last is installed without portage, so the "good way" according to me, is
12 to tell the system that mail-mta/qmail is installed.
13
14 i don't know what virtual/qmail is make for, but why the virtual/mta is not
15 provided by virtual/qmail instead of mail-mta/qmail ???
16
17 virtual/qmail is needed by mail-mta/qmail, in this case, it let us to :
18
19 -> emerge virtual/qmail only when qmail is installed manually and the
20 virtual/mta is provided
21
22 -> emerge mail-mta/qmail, which need virtual/mta, and so, provide the
23 virtual/mta too ?
24
25 if i'm not wrong, have i to post a bug ?
26
27 Best regards,
