It should have been with /etc/portage/package.mask... "emerge -Dptv --emptytree " will always show you the full dependancy tree for a package. And if you mask out a package, this command should also tell you which package is bringing in the dependancy. For example, if I comment out the line in my unmask that allows me to bring in x11-libs/libXpm, and try to emerge wordpress, I get: carcharias rjf # USE=xpm emerge -Deptv wordpress These are the packages that I would merge, in reverse order: Calculating dependencies | !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "x11-libs/libXpm" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - x11-libs/libXpm-3.5.4.2 (masked by: package.mask) # Donnie Berkholz (07 Aug 2005) # Modularized X, upstream release candidates For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook. (dependency required by "dev-lang/php-5.1.1" [ebuild]) I get a similar error if I mask out dev-db/mysql in /etc/portage/package.mask -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
