Bug 68293 – portage-2.0.51_rc9 and _rc10 ignore /etc/portage

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Portage Development

[Description alex f 2004-10-20 11:12:42 UTC]

Observe:

tosh ~ # cat /etc/portage/portage.u
portage.unmask  portage.use
tosh ~ # cat /etc/portage/portage.unmask
net-im/skype
tosh ~ # emerge skype -vp

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "skype" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- net-im/skype-0.91.0.3 (masked by: package.mask)

or this:

tosh ~ # cat /etc/portage/portage.use
media-sound/alsa-driver oss
net-im/gaim -crypt
tosh ~ # emerge alsa-driver -vp

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!

The filenames you want are 'package.unmask' and 'package.use'.

[Comment 2 Georgi Georgiev 2004-10-20 17:11:57 UTC]

You need to list skype in both package.unmask and package.keywords. package.unmask will unmask it, but it will still be keywords masked. I.e. try ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge -pv skype instead.

It fills me with joy, that Georgi like me can't read.
