opensp-1.5.ebuild:

openjade-1.3.2.ebuild:
   RDEPEND=">=app-text/opensp-1.5"

# emerge openjade-1.3.2.ebuild

!!! all ebuilds that could satisfy ">=app-text/opensp-1.5" have been masked.

did you unmask them from package.mask?

PDEPEND is totally valid. it means "install this package AFTER you install me"

eg, you MUST update openjade after you install opensp.
Comment 2 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-04-28 16:31:57 UTC 
not a bug. you shouldn't blindly emerge ebuilds directly without knowing the consequences. these are ebuilds that are not even considered stable.
