Hi Alan! you were right. It is masked! I figured out that "autounmask" is not in portage, because of that I believe that this might not be the only package that is masked....
tamer@office ~ $ emerge -pv =gnome-3.2.1 These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=x11-wm/mutter-3.2.1" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - x11-wm/mutter-3.2.2::gentoo (masked by: ~amd64 keyword) - x11-wm/mutter-3.2.1-r1::gentoo (masked by: ~amd64 keyword) (dependency required by "gnome-base/gnome-3.2.1" [ebuild]) (dependency required by "=gnome-3.2.1" [argument]) For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook. tamer@office ~ $ Am 12.03.2012 21:35, schrieb Alan McKinnon: > On your system "emerge gnome" wants to install gnome-2 > > So either your tree is outdated (you must re-sync) or gnome-3 is still > masked.
