What's going on here is that qmail depends on queue-fix which post-depends on |
| 26 |
virtual/qmail (a new style virtual) whose default provider is netqmail. |
| 27 |
netqmail blocks qmail which hence reverse blocks netqmail. ;) |

Clearly the portage resolver is being retarded by not realizing that qmail is |
| 30 |
an alternate provider for virtual/qmail. Still I have to ask why you don't |
| 31 |
just emerge virtual/qmail and be satisfied with netqmail? After all it is |
| 32 |
supposed to replace qmail... The alternative appears to be to file a bug |
| 33 |
against portage. |
