20 The _pre11 patch you provided will cause lots of problems with regards to
21 virtuals. For example, if the default virtual/x11 is xfree and the user tries
22 to emerge xorg-x11, portage will try to install both xfree and xorg-x11
23 without those lines.
24
25 The _pre17 patch I'm not to sure about, but it is definately unrelated to the
26 problem you are having - even if enabling the code does appear to fix it.
27
28 Anyway, it is fixed now and will be in portage-2.0.51_pre18.
