12 Ah, I read portage(5) now and adding a virtual to package.provided is
13 indeed explicitly prohibited.
14
15 I removed it, but some further changes might be required for prefix
16 (i.e. version number >= 4.1 in package.provided to satisfy the virtual),
17 and I'll indeed hold back further changes in that area,
18 and preferably just let you do any necessary fixes for prefix.
