Description Klaus-J. Wolf 2003-01-16 23:57:16 UTC 
For some reason, portage doesn't seem to find certain port versions. AFAIK
they're not masked; enumerated explicitly, they get installed without problems.

Example:

$ emerge -s nvidia-glx

try #emerge -pu world --deep
Comment 2 Klaus-J. Wolf 2003-01-17 08:56:54 UTC 
emerge wants to downgrade anyway. If I clear everything nvidia-* and emerge
again without explicit versions, I get the older ones. AFAIK there are no
dependencies which would force that behaviour, either with or without "--deep".

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -p nvidia-glx
Comment 4 Klaus-J. Wolf 2003-01-17 09:10:33 UTC 
I don't seem to understand this way of masking. Somebody be able to a write
small comment into either man page and or emerge output?
