profiles/ChangeLog: 01 Nov 2010; Zac Medico <zmedico@gentoo.org> package.mask: Remove portage-2.2 from package.mask since we're now using a keywords mask instead. This alleviates issues for cases like bug #336692 in which people want to use profiles to unmask portage-2.2.
First of all, you should emerge --sync, since portage-2.2.0_alpha4 is the latest. Please try to upgrade to the latest portage before doing anything else. For the masking issue, please post the mask message that's given when you try to explicitly merge the latest version. For example, since openoffice-3.2.1-r1 is the latest version of openoffice, post the output for this command: emerge -p =openoffice-3.2.1-r1
Unfortunatley I - tar -xf debug debug Destroying the log, and then I downgraded portage, loosing the debug log.
