That was it. Obviously I've read what I had expected to see instead of |
| 16 |
what is really written. Now I get e big fat warning from emerge and |
| 17 |
all works as expected: |

WARNING: A requested package will not be merged because it is listed in |
| 22 |
package.provided: |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
media-video/mplayer pulled in by 'world' |
| 25 |
|

This problem can be solved in one of the following ways: |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
A) Use emaint to clean offending packages from world (if not |
| 29 |
installed). |
| 30 |
B) Uninstall offending packages (cleans them from world). |
| 31 |
C) Remove offending entries from package.provided. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
The best course of action depends on the reason that an offending |
| 34 |
package.provided entry exists. |
