I had a similar problem since I wanted to use the -J option of tar |
| 53 |
(telling it to use the xz compressor) |
| 54 |
Someone replied to my bug report that once app-arch/xz-utils becomes |
| 55 |
stable it will replace lzma-utils. But I needed both now. |
| 56 |
So, I installed app-arch/xz-utils outside of portage with the |
| 57 |
prefix /usr/local. Then I told portage about it by |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
echo "app-arch/xz-utils-9999" > /etc/portage/profile/package.provided |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
That works. |
