Trying "emerge freetype:2" also won't work. The only only to emerge it
seems is by using the whole version ("emerge =freetype-2.4.6"). Is this
a bug?
At least it's inconsistent. I would expect that the emerge with complete
version also fails.
It's slotted, so it shouldn't fail. Freetype 1 and 2 can be installed
at the same time.
