Hi, now I have an emerge mystery myself: It claims boost is blocked by ... nothing. See yourself: - emerge tells me that boost is for whatever reason blocked - I cannot find any entry for this in /etc/portage/** - eix does not show any kind of mask for 1.62.0-r1 - none of the installed packages show a condition preventing an update
Any idea?
