That's good news. Now, how does one allow that package to be installed while keeping the rest of KF5 masked? # cat /etc/portage/package.mask kde-plasma/* kde-frameworks/*:5 kde-apps/*:5 kde-misc/*:5 >=kde-apps/kde4-l10n-16.04.1 We seem to need an analogue of CONFIG_PROTECT and CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK, in which we could mask all kde-apps/*:5 while allowing kde-apps/kdebase-runtime- meta:5 to be installed. Can that be done? I hope there's an easier way than masking all 122 apps separately. -- Rgds Peter
