Gentoo didn't "foul up" as such, but it did "foul up my MTA" because I |
| 12 |
didn't know how to tell it not to. package.provided is documented on |
| 13 |
the portage man page, but this is difficult to find, unless you already |
| 14 |
know what you're looking for. I don't think there's a section entitled |
| 15 |
"Including non-portage packages in Gentoo" or the like, in any |
| 16 |
documentation page. |
