I have this error on running an update: === $ sudo emerge --update --deep --newuse world !!! The following installed packages are masked: - dev-util/jam-2.5-r3 (masked by: package.mask) /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask: # Ryan Hill <dirtyepic@gentoo.org> (16 Mar 2008) # Mask for removal on 16 Apr 2008 # upstream unresponsive, replaced by dev-util/ftjam # Bug #173703 For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook. emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "virtual/baselayout". (dependency required by "net-misc/bridge-utils-1.0.6-r3" [installed]) === I take it the first error message is irrelevant, I am on arch ~ppc64. Strangely, bridge-utils is installed at the latest version, so I cannot see why emerge can't just ignore this problem and move on... I have bridge-utils in my package.keywords file, so I must be running a ~ppc64 version. also of note is that other architectures are on bridge-utils version 1.2, whereas this one is on 1.0.6-r3 addendum: reposted from #215752 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install a ppc64 system 2. add bridge-utils to /etc/portage/package.keywords and install with emerge 3. update world with emerge Actual Results: fails due to missing dependency Expected Results: ignore missing dependency, because the package is already up-to-date.
virtual/baselayout has been removed from the tree entirely. Any issue with an overlay or does a simple sync help, maybe?
I'll try another sync on monday when I get access to the machine. I can't quite see from the bridge-utils ebuild how the two are related.
re-emerge bridge-utils
1.0.6-r3 has been removed from the tree for a few weeks as well.
there is no ~ppc64 version of this ebuild any longer it seems... the 1.2 version does compile fine, not sure I want to stick with it if it's not in testing though.
