# emerge --oneshot --ask wxGTK
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild R #] x11-libs/wxGTK-2.9.4.1

Hello,
In the above emerge instance, a "#" symbol appears in the emerge
output. What does this mean? "man emerge" seems to skip this when
describing these "OUTPUTS".
Thank you,
Chris

My "man emerge" says:
Symbol Mask Type
--------------------------
# package.mask
* missing keyword
~ unstable keyword
NOTE: The unstable keyword symbol (~) will not be shown in cases in which the
corresponding unstable keywords have been accepted globally via ACCEPT_KEYWORDS.
So your package seems to be masked by an entry in /etc/portage/package.mask.

Matt,
Thank you. I read that very section but missed the definition of "#" somehow.
FYI in this case the package is masked by the devs and unmasked by me
in /etc/portage/package.unmask.
