Description Richard Yao (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

The profile for ppc64-linux specifies ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="-ppc64 ~ppc64-linux **". This causes dev-vcs/mercurial-9999 to be pulled into the dependency graph, which requires that it be already installed in order to build itself.

darkside and I had a chat about this in IRC before the profile was committed. He suggested that I use ~*, which fixes this issue, but it appears that ** was committed by mistake. Please recommit with ~*.

Note that this issue should also affect arm-linux, so a similar change should be committed for that as well.

Slipped my mind. Thanks.
