Hi,

while updateing I got this:

    These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

    Calculating dependencies... done!

    Total: 0 packages, Size of downloads: 0 KiB

    !!! The following update has been skipped due to unsatisfied dependencies:

    dev-libs/boost:0

    selected: (dev-libs/boost-1.63.0:0/1.63.0::gentoo, installed)
    skipped: (dev-libs/boost-1.65.0:0/1.65.0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for 
merge) (see unsatisfied dependency below)

    !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "=dev-util/boost-build-1.65*" have been 
masked.
    !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your 
request:
    - dev-util/boost-build-1.65.0::gentoo (masked by: )

    (dependency required by "dev-libs/boost-1.65.0::gentoo" [ebuild])
    For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge
    man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

I would interpret this as follows:
emerge would like to upgrade to dev-libs/boost-1.65.0:0/1.65.0 and
needs =dev-util/boost-build-1.65* for that, of which in turn emerge
thinks, it has been (cite) "masked by:  ".

Since ":" is to less of a text to mask a whole package it must be the
"      " after that ... :)

Seriously...as root I did 

/etc>grep -r boost-build
[1]    26987 exit 1     egrep --color -r boost-build
/etc>

...and as emerge before...I did not find anything.

What is masking boost-build ?
Where can I search else?

Thanks a lot in advance for unmasking this riddle !
Cheers
Meino
