/etc/portage/profile/package.provided always works for me. However, I don't know if its location is being changed to /etc/portage/package.provided, where all the other files are placed. I did wonder why package.provided needed a "profile" directory, but have never seen the reason mentioned anywhere. R.C. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
