I recently updated Python and when running python-updater, I see it is trying to emerge masked packages. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run python-updater 2. Watch update fail Actual Results: /usr/sbin/python-updater * Starting Python Updater from 2.4 to 2.5 : * Adding to list: =sys-apps/file-4.23 * Adding to list: =sys-libs/libcap-1.10-r5 * Adding to list: =sys-libs/cracklib-2.8.12 * Adding to list: =dev-python/python-fchksum-1.7.1 * Adding to list: =dev-python/pycrypto-2.0.1-r6 * Adding to list: =dev-python/setuptools-0.6_rc8-r1 * Adding to list: =dev-libs/libxml2-2.6.31 * Adding to list: =dev-util/subversion-1.4.6 * Adding to list: =app-admin/denyhosts-2.6-r1 * Adding to list: =media-libs/pdflib-7.0.2_p8 * Adding to list: =net-analyzer/net-snmp-5.4.1.1 These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies - !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "=sys-libs/libcap-1.10-r5" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - sys-libs/libcap-1.10-r5 (masked by: ) For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

Please run `emerge -vuaDN world'. Running `emerge -vp depclean' should also prove informative - chances are that sys-libs/libcap isn't in your world file and that nothing depends on it, so that it never got updated. The other option is that you simply didn't run `emerge -vuaDN world' for a good while (the version you have was added to the tree in February 2005 and removed from the tree in March 2008[1]). Please reopen this bug only if that turns out to be horribly wrong and it turns out there is a Third Way. :) [1] http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/sys-libs/libcap/libcap-1.10-r5.ebuild?hideattic=0&rev=1.7&view=log
