Your lines above are invalid syntax for a package.mask file, although you shouldn't be editing files under /usr/portage/profiles as once you do an 'emerge --sync' all your changes will be overwritten. Instead you should edit (create) /etc/portage/package.mask to mask packages or edit /etc/portage/package.kewords to accept keywords for specific packages. Justin -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
