You can allow it to install the masked packages by typing:
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge --update --deep world (you can also use --keep-going, instead of --skip-first and it will try and continue when it finds errors).
Actually, you can only use ~x86 if you are using an i686 or whatever (no good for amd or other arch's).
Some correct me if I'm wrong, or have I misunderstood the problem?

Hi All,
See output below. I understand what this is telling me. However, the issue is if I unmask libkexiv2 and kipi-plugins, I get further messages about some other kde package that is masked by ~x86 keyword. And this goes on continuously.
If I do emerge --pretend --update --deep --skip-first world, the second set of output is provided and this causes other problems - for instance, there are a whole whack of packages that depend on gettext.
I haven't been able to update my system in well over a month. I keep hoping a sync will somehow miraculously correct my problem.
Anyone have any ideas how to get around this?
penguinchick ~ # emerge --pretend --update --deep world
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=kde-base/libkexiv2-4.5[aqua=]" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- kde-base/libkexiv2-4.6.1 (masked by: ~x86 keyword)
- kde-base/libkexiv2-4.6.0 (masked by: ~x86 keyword)
- kde-base/libkexiv2-4.5.5 (masked by: ~x86 keyword)
(dependency required by "media-plugins/kipi-plugins-1.9.0" [ebuild])
