Hello! I have following KEYWORDs in my fluxbox-ebuilds: fluxbox-0.1.14-r2.ebuild:KEYWORDS="x86 ppc sparc hppa mips amd64 alpha" fluxbox-0.9.6.ebuild:KEYWORDS="~x86 ppc ~mips ~sparc ~alpha ~amd64" fluxbox-0.9.7.ebuild:KEYWORDS="x86 sparc hppa" fluxbox-0.9.7-r1.ebuild:KEYWORDS="x86 sparc hppa" Since I am running stable x86 it is very difficult to understand, how emerge -something fluxbox/world works now: emerge -vp fluxbox shows: [ebuild U ] x11-wm/fluxbox-0.9.7-r1 [0.9.6] +nls -xinerama +truetype -kde +gnome emerge -vpu world shows no fluxbox (running 0.9.6 atm) emerge -vpu world (with ~x86 set) shows a whole lot, but no fluxbox emerge -vp fluxbox (with ~x86 set) shows (the same as without ~x86) [ebuild U ] x11-wm/fluxbox-0.9.7-r1 [0.9.6] +nls -xinerama +truetype -kde +gnome I must admit I don't really get how to use -u, -U, ... to have an up to date (stable) system, but something is wrong here. I know that this is no serious bug, but letting you know can't be wrong.

Is fluxbox in your world file? The KEYWORDS are sensible... Please post the output of 'grep fluxbox /var/cache/edb/world'.
Empty, so no fluxbox inside.
There we go then, that explains your results :) Did you do an emerge /path/to/ebuild at some point possibly? To fix things, add in x11-wm/fluxbox to that file...
