1 Hi, list
2
3 I have x11-wm/beryl-0.2.1 installed on a stable system. One of its
4 dependencies is ~x11-wm/aquamarine-0.2.1 which dies during compilation.
5 This is fine with me because I installed beryl issuing:
6 "emerge --resume --skipfirst"
7 and it works OK. My problem is that portage wants to pull in aquamarine
8 every time I execute:
9 "emerge -DuN world"
10 or
11 "emerge --depclean".
12
13 Following the official docs [1] I did
14 "echo x11-wm/aquamarine-0.2.1 >> /etc/portage/profile/package.provided"
15 but it doesn't seem to help.
16
17 Am I missing something?
