12 I tried this before I posted my question and did it again now ... sorry,
13 no ... this doesn't solve the problem. It doesn't matter if
14 /etc/portage/profile/packages (tried "packages." too, just to be sure)
15 contains "-sys-apps/busybox" or not, as soon as I do remove busybox from
16 package.provided emerge tries to install busybox-1.15.3, and if I add it
17 back to provided the warning reappears.

19 What's wrong? Did any change of the system installation I made break
20 portage? ... but everything else seems to work fine.

22 ... but thx for that fast try to help.
