Description Andreas Boeyer 2004-01-18 12:46:36 UTC

When I try to emerge kemerge I get the following message:

bash-2.05b# emerge kemerge
Calculating dependencies
!!! all ebuilds that could satisfy "kemerge" have been masked.

!!! Error calculating dependencies. Please correct.
bash-2.05b#

In my make.conf file is the following entry:
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86"

I don't understand why the masked package don't emerge.
It also happen to other masked packages
for example eclipse-sdk-bin

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge kemerge
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
bash-2.05b# emerge kemerge
Calculating dependencies
!!! all ebuilds that could satisfy "kemerge" have been masked.

!!! Error calculating dependencies. Please correct.
bash-2.05b#

Expected Results:  
install kemerge

kemerge has been removed from the portage tree, see http://www.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/app-portage/kemerge/

and yes seemant, all the new portage stuff is documented in portage(5) (at least up until 2.0.50_pre16)
