I'd strongly advise against changing those SLOTs. There are some |
| 9 |
packages that specificly want db-4.0 and others that want db-4.1. |
| 10 |
The packages co-exist perfectly fine. I have them installed on several |
| 11 |
servers for OpenLDAP 2.1 support. |

sys-libs/db-4.1 is NOT masked in packages.mask, so putting it into |
| 14 |
package.unmask is not the correct way of getting it released. |

I have a copy in my local overlay that changes KEYWORDS to x86. |

I do note that the behaviour has changed recently, I don't know why. |

emerge -p '>=sys-libs/db-4.1*' |
| 21 |
... |
| 22 |
!!! all ebuilds that could satisfy ">=sys-libs/db-4.1" have been masked. |

Carpaski: did the behaviour of the masking change some? |
