Can we find a simple example that does work? > (not enlightenment).....? You want "app-arch/xz-utils **" in package.keywords. It is blocked by lzma, but that entry does at least get the emerge past the mask stage: nazgul xz-utils # echo "app-arch/xz-utils ~*" > /etc/portage/package.keywords/temp nazgul xz-utils # emerge -av1 xz-utils These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "app-arch/xz-utils" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - app-arch/xz-utils-9999 (masked by: missing keyword) For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook. nazgul xz-utils # echo "app-arch/xz-utils **" > /etc/portage/package.keywords/temp nazgul xz-utils # emerge -av1 xz-utils These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!
