Re: [gentoo-dev] profile: specific versions in virtuals

[Lluís Batlle i Rossell]

I succeded solving the error uninstalling "linux-headers" first in the root of
stage1 tmp of catalyst.
I can't understand that, as "ROOT" environment variable is used when calling
emerge.

If I don't add the "package.mask" file to my profile (then, using the latest 2.6
versions of headers), that error doesn't happen. That's quite strange.
