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 **
