Since some time ago (sorry I can't be more specific here), I've been seeing a weird message at each launch of "emerge world". emerge would complain that media-gfx/gimp has been removed from the tree or there are no available ebuilds for it. I had 2.4.2 installed at that time.Yesterday I tried to solve the issue, noticing that gentoo-portage reports 2.4.6 as the lastest stable ebuild. When I try to emerge it, I get a message which says that all the ebuilds have been masked. I've looked for possibly wrong configurations on my part, but I haven't found any. I guess it's not a problem in the ebuild (since it reports x86) but I don't know where else to look. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge media-gfx/gimp 2. 3. emerge media-gfx/gimp (default opts: --ask) Calculating dependencies / !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "media-gfx/gimp" have been masked. !!!

You appear to be using the zugaina overlay. I believe the gimp package from this is "overlaying" the package from the main tree.
(In reply to comment #1) > You appear to be using the zugaina overlay. I believe the gimp package from > this is "overlaying" the package from the main tree. Thank you, it was really the zugaina overlay which conflicted with the package! I wonder: if emerge detects an ebuild in my own overlay, it tells me it's going to install from the overlay (giving me the root dir). Should this be the case for layman too (and I'm missing some config to show this value) or is it meant not no give this information?
