virtual/c++-tr1-type-traits: slot 0: virtual/c++-tr1-type-traits-0::installed installed, virtual/c++-tr1-type-traits-0::gentoo available with keywords amd64 |

virtual/c++-tr1-functional: slot 0: virtual/c++-tr1-functional-0::installed installed, virtual/c++-tr1-functional-0::gentoo available with keywords amd64 |
