Hi Rumen,

thanks, the patch was supposed to be applied to a previous
version of the ebuild; by masking and emerging the correct
version it worked.
Sorry for top-posting (I should have read the policy ;P )

Bo, thanks to you too.

Now please, stop it, is it possible that a such simple post
gives so much feedback!!?
No, kidding, thanks again, it's nice to get in contact with you
all.

Ciao, Leo
