The next section of the response to my attempt to update portage is a long list of packages, each terminated with a "(masked by: something or other)".
What does that tell me. If it's masked, it shouldn't be available, right? But, I've got it: - virtual/perl-parent-0.234.0-r1::gentoo (masked by: package.mask) ls virtual/perl-parent/perl-parent-0.234.0-r1.ebuild virtual/perl-parent/perl-parent-0.234.0-r1.ebuild Can I get rid of it? Is perl-parent always masked?
