The current media-gfx/bootsplash-0.6-r11 ebuild depends on the masked ebuild sys-apps/baselayout-1.8.6.13-r1 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge --tree -pvuUD world Actual Results: Calculating world dependencies / !!! all ebuilds that could satisfy ">=sys-apps/baselayout-1.8.6.13-r1" have been masked. !!! possible candidates are: - sys-apps/baselayout-1.8.6.13-r1 (masked by: ~keyword) !!! (dependency required by "media-gfx/bootsplash-0.6-r11" [ebuild]) !!! Problem with ebuild sys-kernel/genkernel-3.0.1 !!! Possibly a DEPEND/*DEPEND problem. !!! Depgraph creation failed. Expected Results: upgrade bootsplash
A solution for me was to do: emerge -vuD world without the -U option. Then bootsplash is downgraded to bootsplash-0.6-r10, because bootsplash-0.6-r11 is masked. It looks like bootsplash-0.6-r11 was not masked in older versions.
