That doesn't appear to have the disired effect here...
cat /etc/portage/package.unmask
x11-apps/xvidtune
===================================
root # emerge -vp xvidtune
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies -
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "x11-libs/libXxf86vm" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- x11-libs/libXxf86vm-1.0.0 (masked by: package.mask)
# Donnie Berkholz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (07 Aug 2005)
# Modularized X, upstream release candidates
[...]
Or are you saying I need to list ever dependance in there too?
Its a very long list. I got as high as 12 and was still getting that
message with yet another dependancy.
What can I do to automate or batch some of this. Or is there some way
to just install xvidtune and get on with it. I had it installed in a
previous install with none of this coming up less than 2 mnths ago.
root # equery depends x11-apps/xvidtune
[ Searching for packages depending on x11-apps/xvidtune... ]
Shows nothing...
