Almost the same with the xfree-4.2.1.ebuild. This one is masked but if I=20 unmask it, I still get the 4.2.0-r12 version listed. When i try to give the 4.2.1 ebuild on the emerge command line I get the=20 following: These are the packages that I would merge, in order. Calculating dependencies | emerge: all ebuilds that could satisfy ">=3Dsys-devel/flex-2.5.4a-r5" (from = ebuild / x11-base/xfree-4.2.1 merge) have been masked. I am confused. What does that mean and where is it masked? -Rolf -- Rolf Offermanns OpenPGP public key available on request Key fingerprint =3D A0AF 0A8D A8A9 9662 F558 385B 7B01 518F 545F F159 --==========1939179384========== Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9qXBgewFRj1Rf8VkRAj/NAJ44ysIp+xUtOrYFjD9uXr0/i0IowACdEWgb dAIbkuotzAFqCKv7wEXouVk= =FcU5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==========1939179384==========--
