You must understand WHAT IS the package.mask file first, read man portage, check the section where it describes package.mask. You'll notice that you don't need ~x86, because this keywords are not applicable in this file, each line contains an application that should be blocked from being emerged, that's all, if you add a >, < or =, you specify if versions greater, lower or equal to the one you put in the line should be masked too. > > > and it still wants to upgrade mantis to 1.0.1 version. Sure you masked only that version, the upgraded version is not masked, remove the ~x86 (useless in this file) and change the "=" sign for a ">", this way masking every package above the version too. > > > what else do I need to do to prevent the upgrade ? > > > > put ">www-apps/mantisbt-1.0.0" in /etc/portage/package.mask See, people already answered your question, I guess you were just a little lost on HOW package.mask works.
