a few days ago I've emerged auzreus (had to add: - =net-p2p/azureus-2.3.0.4 ~x86 - =dev-java/swt-3.2_pre1 ~x86 to /etc/portage/package.keywords) and everything went fine. Today I've tried to emerge -Dupv world and got error: These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies - !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=x11-libs/gtk+-2.8.6" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - x11-libs/gtk+-2.8.6 (masked by: ~x86 keyword) For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or section 2.2 "Software Availability" in the Gentoo Handbook. !!! (dependency required by "dev-java/swt-3.2_pre1" [ebuild]) !!! Problem with ebuild net-p2p/azureus-2.3.0.4 !!! Possibly a DEPEND/*DEPEND problem. I have no gtk+ in /etc/portage/package.* but I tracked it down to see dependency tree: azureus-2.3.0.4 -> swt-3.2_pre1 -> gtk+-2.8.6 I'm unable to emerge -Dupv world :( Is that normal package dependencies can vary from day to day?

So put x11-libs/gtk+ in /etc/portage/package.keywords, you are running ~arch azureus version. This is not a bug.
well, the problem is different: one day you emerge something (my case it was azureus-2.3.0.4 and swt-3.2_pre1, exactly the same versions, they have not changed) and there's no need to emerge unstable dependency, next day you wake up and see sth changed rapidly Shouldn't new ebuild (like swt-3.2_pre2) be created for this, or even azureus-2.3.0.4_r1 (if I get naming convency properly)? I'm running gnome and would not like be forced to emerge unstable gtk+

Changing dependencies is perfectly legal (and needed to fix Bug 109267) and there's nothing wrong with ~arch ebuild depending on ~arch lib either.
ad #3: I was not sure wheter dependencies can change for ~arch ebuilds, thanks for info, any way, if you look into http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109267, esp #4 there was info about looking for lowest GTK+ version that allows swt to work with and that was not finished yes as I was able to compile it against gtk+-2.6.8
