Description Mark Sasson 2011-01-04 09:31:47 UTC

I am trying to update portage and I am getting:
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "app-shells/bash-completion" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- app-shells/bash-completion-1.2 (masked by: EAPI 3)

The current version of portage supports EAPI '2'. You must upgrade to a
newer version of portage before EAPI masked packages can be installed.



I tried unmsaking by adding: app-shells/bash-completion ~amd64 
to the /etc/portage/package.keywords/portage file. It does not work.
Is this a circular dependency?

I appriciate any help.
