[gentoo-user] Portage world update fails because of masked beryl-plugins

Hi everyone,



# emerge -avDu world

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating world dependencies |
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "~x11-plugins/beryl-plugins-0.1.99.2"
have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your
request:
- x11-plugins/beryl-plugins-0.1.99.2 (masked by: missing keyword)

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
(dependency required by "x11-wm/beryl-core-0.1.99.2" [ebuild])

!!! Problem resolving dependencies for x11-wm/emerald
!!! Depgraph creation failed.



Maybe snippets from my /etc/portage/package.* files will be helpful:

keywords

x11-wm/beryl
x11-wm/beryl-core
x11-plugins/beryl-plugins
x11-plugins/beryl-dbus
x11-misc/beryl-manager
x11-misc/beryl-settings

unmask

x11-wm/beryl
x11-wm/beryl-core
x11-plugins/beryl-plugins
x11-plugins/beryl-dbus
x11-plugins/beryl-vidcap
x11-misc/beryl-manager
x11-misc/beryl-settings



I'm not very familiar with unmasking system, so most probably an answer
to the question I'm asking is more than just obvious - if so, accept my
apologies. Nevertheless, I would be grateful for your support.

Best regards,
Jan Stępień

Before you do any of the above I suggest that you read MASKED PACKAGES section 
and KEYWORDS section within man emerge.  It's better that you understand what 
you are masking/unmasking in the long run and why.

Hey!

There is one interesting part in the output of emerge
 >> x11-plugins/beryl-plugins-0.1.99.2 (masked by: missing keyword)
This means that the package hasn't been tested yet.
So you need to replace the following in package.keywords
x11-plugins/beryl-plugins
by
x11-plugins/beryl-plugins ~x86

If you are using another architecture than x86  (like amd64) you need to 
write ~amd64 instead

Cheers,
Jay

If you are on x86, those two lines mean exactly the same thing in 
package.keywords.

> If you are using another architecture than x86  (like amd64) you need to
> write ~amd64 instead

Or, you could simply leave off the keyword, like he has and have it treated 
like ~${ARCH}, where ${ARCH} is your current architecture.

I assure you I have read it quite a long time ago. The reason I'm asking
my question here is that the suggestions on emerge's man page weren't
helpful. Neither Google was.

I've tried to unmask it with keywords "~x86", "~*", "*" and even "-*"
but still I've got the same error. I'm afraid that * wildcard isn't
working and I can't guess the correct keyword. Have you got any further
suggestions?

I don't have an ebuild for that version on beryl, so I can't tell you what 
keywords can be used.  But, I can tell you how to find out.

e.g.:
$ grep KEYWORD beryl-plugins-0.1.3.ebuild
KEYWORDS="~amd64 ~ppc ~ppc64 ~x86"

So, you can simply find the KEYWORDS variable in the ebuild you are trying 
to use and add one of those keywords to your package.keywords.  Of course, 
if you do anything other than ~${ARCH}, where ${ARCH} is your current 
architecture and it breaks, you get to keep both pieces.

You may want to have a go by adding:

~x11-plugins/beryl-plugins-0.1.99.2

or, 

=x11-plugins/beryl-plugins-0.1.99.2 ~x86  (if you don't want subsequent 
upgrades to unstable packages)

to your /etc/portage/package.keywords file and then run:

# emerge -upDv beryl-plugins 

to see if it is being picked up.  You may discover additional masked 
dependencies at this stage and you will need to unmask them in turn.

To my surprise, the output is:

KEYWORDS=""

There are... No keywords? I'm puzzled. I'm using x86 architecture.
Should I then edit the ebuild and manually add my arch to KEYWORD
variable? I'm just guessing - maybe it will help somehow.

Thanks for your support. I've tried both options, but unfortunately
either Portage is trying to reemerge the existing version, or it's
displaying the same error message.

Ah, hrm.  I believe in the future you will be able to accept this package 
by using the special keyword "*", but that doesn't work right now.  I'm 
not sure though.

You could edit the ebuild, but put it in a non-sync'd overlay or it will 
get blown away next time you sync that repository/overlay.

You need to accept ** through package.keywords and you need latest portage 
2.1.2 (which is now stable)...

This solves the problem. Thank you very much!
