25 Also, how do versions come into play?
26
27 obviously emerge fakeA-1.0 would be realized by real-1.0 and fakeB-2.0
28 would be realized by real-2.0. I don't think portage allows to specify
29 some form of version-relation between a virtual and its realization,
30 right? Like, libsystem-7.1 provides bash-3, xfree-435 , .... In portage
31 .51_pre13, can the same package provides, multiple virtuals, each with
32 an appropriate version.
