upgrading but not emacs

Post #1 of 3 (250 views)

Hi all,
I'm trying to upgrade my system; "emerge -Upv" tells me that emerge want to
upgrade emacs to 21.3-r3; but I'm using emacs-cvs, and don't want this
version. I checked that "emacs-cvs" is in /var/cache/edb/world and not
"emacs".
I thought there was a dependency problem so I typed "emerge -OUpv" but
emacs-21.3-r3 is still in the list of packages it wants to upgrade to.
Can anyone tell me what to do to exclude this version of emacs of my
command, and why it is so?
tia,

I do not know why this happens, maybe "qpkg -q emacs" will show this.

But you can use "emerge inject app-editors/emacs-21.3-r3" to make
portage believe it is installed already.
