After doing an emerge sync to update the tree, an emerge -up world was issued. This caused the following message: These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies / !!! all ebuilds that could satisfy ">=dev-util/intltool-0.23" have been masked. !!! (dependency required by "x11-themes/gnome-themes-2.2" [ebuild]) Obviously, doing an emerge world would require I set ACCEPT_KEYWORDS to ~x86, but that would also cause ninety masked ebuilds to also be merged.
please update your PORTAGE_OVERLAY or comment it it's already stable
I'ts already commented out. The problem was, however due to the fact that gnome-themes-2.2 is masked on the package database, but stable in the CVS tree and rsync
This will happen without PORTDIR_OVERLAY as well. The solution is to remove /var/cache/edb/dep and regenerate it with portage (e.g. emerge sync). I had the same problem and now it works.
