blender-2.44-r1 (marked stable) requires media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20070616, which is marked unstable on the amd64 platform. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge blender with stable keyword under amd64 profile Actual Results: Package blocked by: !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20070616" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20070616 (masked by: ~amd64 keyword) - media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20070616-r1 (masked by: ~amd64 keyword) Expected Results: Should either emerge successfully or be marked unstable (and hence not emerged). If ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20070616 or later is a requirement, then this version of blender should remain unstable until this is marked stable. A temporary workaround is to put this package under /etc/portage/package.mask, or to bite the bullet and emerge the unstable ffmpeg library dependency emerge --info output: Portage 2.1.3.9 (default-linux/amd64/2006.1, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.5-r4, 2.6.20-gentoo-r8 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.20-gentoo-r8 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4400+ Timestamp of tree: Fri, 21 Sep 2007 05:50:01 +0000 distcc 2.18.3 x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] app-shells/bash: 3.2_p17 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.0.33-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4-r4 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r6 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.9-r2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.17 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.16 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.24 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.21 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -march=athlon64" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/gconf /etc/php/apache2-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cgi-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cli-php5/ext-active/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -march=athlon64" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.osuosl.org/ ftp://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo/ http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo/" LINGUAS="en" MAKEOPTS="-j6" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages --filter=H_**/files/digest-*" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/portage/local/layman/armagetron /usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://gorgon/gentoo-portage" USE="X a52 aac aalib acpi aim alsa amd64 arts audiofile bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts bonobo bzip2 cdb cdparanoia cdr cli cracklib crypt cscope ctype cups curl curlwrappers db2 dbase dbm dbus dga dio directfb doc dri dts dv dvd dvdr dvdread eds encode ethereal examples fbcon ffmpeg fftw firefox flac fortran ftp gdbm ggi gif gimp gimpprint glib gnome gnutls gpm gtk gtk2 hal iconv imagemagick imap imlib innodb iodbc ipv6 isdnlog java joystick jpeg jpeg2k kde lcd ldap libcaca libedit libg++ lirc lua lzo mad md5sum midi mikmod mmap mng mozilla mp3 mpeg mpi mplayer mssql mudflap mysql mysqli ncurses nls nocd nptl nptlonly nsplugin odbc offensive ogg openal opengl openmp oss pam pcre pdf perl physfs png postgres povray ppds pppd python qt qt3 qt4 quicktime readline reflection samba scanner sdl session sharedmem smp sndfile snmp speex spell spl sqlite ssl svg sysfs szip tcl tcltk tcpd tetex theora tidy tiff timidity tk transcode truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode usb utempter v4l vcd videos vim-syntax vorbis wmf xanim xcomposite xforms xine xinerama xml xorg xosd xpm xprint xscreensaver xv xvid zlib" ALSA_CARDS="cmipci usb-audio" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="en" LIRC_DEVICES="usb_uirt_raw" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia none" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
blender-2.44-r1 is not stable on amd64 (not anywhere else)
Whoops, my mistake... I had an old line in /etc/portage/package.keywords I'd forgotten about. Nothing wrong with the ebuild. Sorry.
