I think that now I understand what you tried to tell me. ;-) |

# /etc/portage/profile/package.provided (1) |
| 8 |
mail-mta/ssmtp-2.61 |

alone will not suffice, additionally |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
# /etc/portage/profile/virtuals (2) |
| 13 |
virtual/mta mail-mta/ssmtp |

|

is required to make sure that emerge does not install any of the |
| 16 |
other "virtual MTA" packages. |
| 17 |
|

What I still don't know if the setting (1) prevents future Versions |
| 19 |
of ssmtp, say ssmtp-2.72, from being installed. Put in other words, |
| 20 |
are packages in package.provided ever updated by "emerge --update |
| 21 |
--deep world"? As I wrote before I don't know if I should add them |
| 22 |
to package.mask aswell to prevent updates, and if the absolute path |
| 23 |
is /etc/portage/profile/package.mask or /etc/portage/package.mask? |
