Hi,

It is probably a dumb blunder of mine, but it seems that there is something weird with glib on my world file.

emerge -pv world fails with:

---

!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=dev-libs/glib-2.16" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- dev-libs/glib-2.16.3 (masked by: package.mask)
/usr/portage/local/layman/desktop-effects/profiles/package.mask:
#
# <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (9 February 2008)
# glib-2.15 breaks some packages

- dev-libs/glib-2.16.2 (masked by: package.mask, ~x86 keyword)
- dev-libs/glib-2.16.1 (masked by: package.mask, ~x86 keyword)

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
(dependency required by "dev-cpp/glibmm-2.16.1" [ebuild])

Now, I have a bunch of unmasked stuff in package.keywords, but I've *not* unmasked glibmm ~x86 or other glib related stuff. So why is a x86 glibmm pulling down ~x86 stuff/why is an unstable glibmm being pulled down? By what?

By the way: I find the fact "emerge -pv" just fails in those cases extremly annoying. Shoudn't it report the error, skip offending packages but let me see what can be happily merged independently of that?
