[gentoo-amd64] Still unable to unmask KDE4.1.2

[gentoo-amd64] Still unable to unmask KDE4.1.2

[Mark Haney]

Well, after 2 weeks of fumbling and fidgeting, I still am unable to 
unmask KDE4.1.2.  I really do not know now where to go from this point. 
Here's what I"ve done.

I've removed all KDE4.0.X packages.

I've keyworded the KDE:4 packages (per the documentation) and I still do 
not see any KDE4.1.2 packages listed in emerge -upD world.

I thought, at one time that I needed to also unmask the KDE4.1.2 files 
since I"m not running ~amd64, but that didn't change anything.

I'm at a complete loss for where to go now.

Are you using a package manager that supports EAPI 2?  I suspect that 
this is only supported by portage v2.2 or newer versions of paludis - 
and the unstable kde ebuilds use EAPI 2 so they would be masked by older 
versions of either package manager.

I haven't looked at the docs lately, or followed this conversation,
but :4 was changed to :4.1

I was under the impression, especially based on the documentation, that 
the latest version of portage and associated tools supported that.  I'm 
using portage 2.1.4.5 and based on what I've read, this should be fine.

That may be true, but in the documentation, there's no mention of what 
to unmask.  There's mention of what to keyword, but not unmask.  I've 
tried everything I can think of to unmask the files, and nothing has worked.

You know, that might actually be my problem, somehow portage got 
downgraded here to 2.1.4.5 instead of 2.2.0_rc11 that I KNOW was on 
their before.

So, I'm throwing 2.2.0_rc13 on here and we'll see how it goes from there.

Yep, that did it. I can't believe I didn't catch that earlier. I was 
/certain/ portage was the right version.  Oh well.

Thanks for all the help.
