    You probably should ignore this announcement since it already had been
    posted on this list but reappeared a second time. I'm experiencing this
    problem with a lot of mails from fd that seem to be somehow duplicated,
    sometimes with a lag between duplicates.

    A package/ebuild is identified by the version uniquely. If there's no
    typo I can't see what should be broken. Take a look at
    packages.gentoo.org to find out more about individual ebuilds in the
    Portage tree.

    regards,
    Tobias
