checking for libparted == 1.7.1, 1.8.0, 1.8.1, 1.8.2, 1.8.6... Found libparted 1.8.7configure: error: *** Requires libparted == 1.7.1/1.8.0/1.8.1/1.8.2 or 1.8.6

I figure this is simple... I'll just mask the 1.8.7 version of libparted, right? But when I try 'emerge -p libparted' it says there are not ebuilds. Anybody know which ebuild gives libparted?

[voxiac]

Perhaps sys-apps/parted ?
I reckon there should be a tool somewhere in gentoolkit, which tells you which ebuild owns a given file...

downgrade parted to 1.8.6

emerge =parted-1.8.6

That's the trick. Actually, I put sys-apps/parted-1.8.7 into package.mask and now all is well, and I'm working on finishing this monster -NuD world (and dealing with other problems)
