27 It's quite simple really. You didn't see a '<' character. It's here:
28
29 <app-crypt/qca-1.0-r3
30
31 The thing that is blocking qca-2 MUST BE a version less than 1.0-r3
32
33 There is only one sane way to resolve blockers. Run emerge with -t to find out
34 why stuff is being pulled in. Then find out what you already have, I use eix
35 for this.
36
37 Finally solve the problem with a great big fat hefty dose of "look and think"
