Description Bugs Bunny - DISABLED 2006-02-24 06:39:06 UTC 
after emerge sync; and emerge portage; the emerge -pu world states that zlib is masked by missing keyword.
there are no files/entries in /etc/portage/* 
did rm -r /usr/portage and emerge sync again, but same result.
emerge of other packages (not dependant on zlib) work fine.
I tried changing mirror sites too but same result.

You forgot to include the output of. 'emerge info'
Comment 2 Bugs Bunny - DISABLED 2006-02-24 07:26:12 UTC 
yes, i can't get it off the box as i've unmerged zlib..

but:
kernel 2.6.14-hardened-r5
python 2.3.4-r1 ;2.4.2

DISTDIR=/usr/portage/distfiles
PORTDIR=/usr/portage
PORTAGE_TMPDIR=/var/tmp

I've tried it with blank /etc/make.conf but no change..

what kind of checks does emerge do to find out that it's masked?
Comment 3 Bugs Bunny - DISABLED 2006-02-24 07:39:29 UTC 
problem can  be fixed by modifying ebuild file and adding in inheritance statement "multilib" word..
