Why did you have that line in package.provided, in the first place? Did you |
| 26 |
install freetype on your own, without using portage? |

The way I see it, Portage worked perfectly: it saw that you have installed a |
| 29 |
certain version of freetype on your own, and it didn't want to mess up your |
| 30 |
installed package. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Just delete the line and emerge freetype. |
