skymoo root # emerge unlzx
Calculating dependencies
emerge: all ebuilds that could satisfy "unlzx" have been masked.
skymoo root #
skymoo root # emerge --version
Portage 2.0.33
specifying the complete path to the ebuild ie
emerge /usr/portage/app-sci/unlzx/unlzx-1.1.ebuild
works.
ah, that's an easy one. it's a masked package. if you look in
/usr/portage/profiles/package.mask, you'll see that the reason it is masked is
because of licensing issues. Likely it is just not clear what the license on it is.
so, if you know it, please let us know it.
I've done a search and all I can find is the following, from aminet

and a website, which appears to be the website for version 1.0

there was some info regarding the PPC compliled version and it mentioned that
the license was freeware
so i would hazard a guess that is freeware?
