RPM-4.2.1 is neither package masked nor arch masked for x86. It is
removed from/not available to the x86 tree, as well as several others
(amd64, ppc64, ppc macos).
eix rpm
* app-arch/rpm
Available versions: 4.0.4-r5 4.2 4.2-r1 -4.2.1
That's what that "-" means before the version number.
You can still install it though- if you really want; I would strongly
suggest checking the ChangeLog and b.g.o to find out what's going on,
since a package being made unavailable to any part of the Portage tree
indicates serious issues-- by adding the following to
/etc/portage/package.keywords:
app-arch/rpm -x86 (or -amd64 or -ppc64, or -ppc macos, depending on what
you're using)
But I wouldn't expect it to compile, or be worth the trouble it's likely
to cause you, all things considered.
HTH,
