Lately it seems that some packages in the stable portage tree require
dependencies that are masked. For whatever reason the checks and
balances are not in place - no problem. It would be nice to have
Portage ask if it is OK to emerge a masked packade to fulfill the
dependency in those cases.
This time - Slypheed-claws-0.8.8 requires gpgme-0.3.10 (which is masked)
Usually a rsync a day or so later when the error is caught fixes it, but
alternatives to failing would be nice (even downgrading Sylpheed so the
stable gpgme could be used).
-Greg
