Calculating dependencies
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "net-print/hplip" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- net-print/hplip-0.9.4 (masked by: ~x86 keyword)
- net-print/hplip-0.9.5 (masked by: ~x86 keyword)
- net-print/hplip-0.9.3 (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.

already tried adding in package.unmask no change
Comment 1 Sven Wegener gentoo-dev 2005-10-31 06:04:37 UTC
- net-print/hplip-0.9.4 (masked by: ~x86 keyword)
- net-print/hplip-0.9.5 (masked by: ~x86 keyword)
- net-print/hplip-0.9.3 (masked by: ~x86 keyword)

means that the package is only keyworded for ~x86 and not x86, to what your
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS is set to. package.unmask is used for unmasking packages that
are masked by package.mask, use package.keywords instead to accept an ~x86 for
this package.
