11 With an '<' in front of it (and it has), it means that
12 inkscape-1.0_beta1 needs imagemagick <= 7 i.e. some 6.x version ...

14 Basically it means you should mask that inkscape beta. Add e.g.
15
16 =media-gfx/inkscape-1.0_beta1
17
18 to /etc/portage/package.mask[/*].
19
20 Or (better) un-keyword ~amd64 inkscape, then you should stay at the
21 (now) stable 0.92.4.

27 We can use symlinks of course... syslogd would be a symlink to syslogp and
28 ftpd and ircd would be linked to ftpp and ircp... and of course the
29 point-to-point protocal paenguin.
