It actually does with ONE exclamation mark, but not with two. |

I know almost nothing about writing ebuilds (I have written just few |
| 12 |
of them), but maybe two exclamation marks mean "ouble logical "not" (NOT |
| 13 |
NOT), inverting the meaning of this blocker? |
| 14 |
For example, I can read that string as follows: |
| 15 |
DEPEND="!<sci-mathematics/sage-4.5.2" |
| 16 |
"sage-baselayout-4.5.2 depends on (NOT less than |
| 17 |
sci-mathematics/sage-4.5.2)" |
| 18 |
With two exclamation marks I could read this string different: |
| 19 |
"sage-baselayout-4.5.2 depends on (NOT (NOT less than |
| 20 |
sci-mathematics/sage-4.5.2))". The last one is equivalent to |
| 21 |
"<sci-mathematics/sage-4.5.2" from this point of view. |
| 22 |
But maybe I'm wrong and all this is a complete nonsense. :) |

In such case we definitely have nothing to worry about. |
