cold ~ # emerge -pv hdump These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "hdump" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - sys-apps/hdump-1.12 (masked by: missing keyword) I just built it and ran it and it works :)

I apologize, I didn't see that error and the merge completed 'successfully' so I didn't think anything of it. As far as the 'ran it' part, I must have used hexdump (which I had just emerged prior). ack. this makefile is beyond my comprehension, so I guess I'll just close this one :) sorry for the bother
closing for now... unless you come up with a patch.
