virtual/qmail is just a new package in category 'virtual' |

ls -la /usr/portage/virtual/ |

Many, many microseconds ago, the 'virtuals' file in your profile was the |

only way to specify virtual packages. Now, the second one emerged. |

vi /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/virtuals |
| 24 |
vi /usr/portage/profiles/base/virtuals |

vi /usr/portage/virtual/qmail/qmail-1.03.ebuild |

They are different packages. |

| 37 |
The virtual just states that it needs something that is compatible with |
| 38 |
version 1.03 of qmail. |
