Hi,

I want to install asfrecord. It is not installed in a different
version right now.

eix asfrecord gives me this:


* media-video/asfrecorder
     Available versions:  *1.1
     Homepage:            http://sourceforge.net/projects/asfrecorder/
     Description:         ASFRecorder - Download Windows Media Streaming files


emerge -pv media-video/asfrecord gives me

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild  N    *] media-video/asfrecorder-1.1  369 kB

Total: 1 packages (1 new), Size of downloads: 369 kB

The following keyword changes are necessary to proceed:
#required by media-video/asfrecorder (argument)
>=media-video/asfrecorder-1.1 **

man emerge says nothing about [ebuild  N    *] but about

    [ebuild U *] sys-apps/portage-2.2.0_alpha6 [2.1.9.25]
            Portage 2.1.9.25 is installed, but if you  run  the  command,  then  portage  will
            upgrade to version 2.2.0_alpha6. In this case, the * symbol is displayed, in order
            to indicate that version 2.2.0_alpha6 is masked by missing keyword. This  type  of
            masking  display  is disabled by the --quiet option if the --verbose option is not
            enabled simultaneously.  The following symbols are used to indicate various  types
            of masking:

            Symbol   Mask Type
            

            #      package.mask
            *      missing keyword
            ~      unstable keyword

            NOTE: The unstable keyword symbol (~) will not be shown in cases in which the cor‐
            responding unstable keywords have been accepted globally via ACCEPT_KEYWORDS.


It seems there is a "missing keyword".

Unfortunately I now know there is a keyword missing. But what keyword?
And how can I manage to install that package?

Thank you very much for any help in advance!
Best regards,
mcc

It means that this package is not keyworded for any architecture. 
Usually packages are keyworded for "x86 ~x86 amd64 ~amd64" etc.  The 
package not being keyworded usually means it's unmaintained or has 
severe problems.

To keyword it yourself unconditionally, simply add this to your 
package.keywords:

media-video/asfrecorder **
