Hi! I do have a problem using /etc/portage/profile/package.provided. At first I added some other packages to this file and got the expected functionality. Then I added sys-apps/busybox-1.16 to package.provided. It works and portage detects the entry on an emerge, but it prints a big fat warning, that busybox has been excluded and suggests deleting from worlds file or removing from the package.provided file. But busybox isn't in the worlds file. And removing it from the package.provided files leeds to emerge trying to install busybox 1.15.3 which conflicts with my manual installation of busybox 1.16.0 (or daily snapshot).
How is it possible to disable this warning message from emerge, because it's half a screen full of text on every merge and scrolls off a lot of other wanted information from the screen? If any additional Information required please feel free to ask. I'm new to gentoo and portage but otherwise a C programmer and more or less an linux expert. Thx for your help. Harald
