1 Hi,
2 I'm having a bit of trouble with the package.provided feature. I've

4 my understanding that I could tell emerge to not emerge lower version
5 of Jack by placing the following info in

9 =media-sound/jack-audio-connection-kit-0.102.7
10 mark@lightning ~ $
11

20 Calculating world dependencies
21 !!! Packages for the following atoms are either all
22 !!! masked or don't exist:
23 media-tv/mythtv
24
25 ...done!
