Starting March 14, whenever I have tried doing emerge -D -uav system the response has included !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=app-emacs/emacs-common-gentoo-1[X]" have been masked.
On my x86 box, the response adds - app-emacs/emacs-common-gentoo-1.0 (masked by: ~x86 keyword) On my amd64 machine, the equivalent line is - app-emacs/emacs-common-gentoo-1.0 (masked by: ~amd64 keyword) The dependency listing is as follows: (dependency required by "app-editors/emacs-22.3-r2" [installed]) (dependency required by "app-emacs/po-mode-0.17" [installed]) (dependency required by "sys-devel/gettext-0.17" [installed]) (dependency required by "sys-devel/gcc-4.1.2" [installed]) (dependency required by "system" [argument]) Doing emerge -D -uav world elicits similar messages. I'm not sure whether it would be safer to (a) emerge a masked version of emacs-common-gentoo-1.0 or to (b) alter the dependency structure, eliminating the requirement for emacs-common-gentoo-1.0. Further, I am not sure how to do either one. Suggestions would be much appreciated. John -- John P.
