Subject:	[gentoo-user] package.provided messes up emerging of package slots?

Message-Id:	`j4l983$6r4$1@dough.gmane.org`

1	In my /etc/portage/profile/package.provided, I have this:
2
3	media-libs/freetype-1.4_pre20080316-r2
4
5	When I try to emerge freetype however, instead of emerging the newer
6	version, I get:
7
8	$ emerge freetype
9
10	WARNING: A requested package will not be merged because it is listed
11	in package.provided:
12
13	freetype pulled in by 'args'
14
15	Nothing to merge; would you like to auto-clean packages? [Yes/No]
16
17	Trying "emerge freetype:2" also won't work. The only only to emerge it
18	seems is by using the whole version ("emerge =freetype-2.4.6"). Is this
19	a bug?
