When I try to do a emerge -up gnome on my amd64-box, I'm getting this error: emerge -u gnome Calculating dependencies | !!! all ebuilds that could satisfy ">=media-plugins/gst-plugins-alsa-0.8.0" have been masked. !!! possible candidates are: - media-plugins/gst-plugins-alsa-0.8.0 (masked by: missing keyword) !!! Error calculating dependencies. Please correct. This happens also if I try to do a 'emerge -u world': Calculating world dependencies - !!! all ebuilds that could satisfy ">=media-plugins/gst-plugins-alsa-0.8.0" have been masked. !!! possible candidates are: - media-plugins/gst-plugins-alsa-0.8.0 (masked by: missing keyword) !!! Problem with ebuild gnome-base/gnome-2.6 !!! Possibly a DEPEND/*DEPEND problem. !!! Depgraph creation failed. So I can't even update my system without using USE="-alsa -esd". My ACCEPT_KEYWORDS is set to "~amd64", so most packages should not be masked. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -u gnome or emerge -u world Actual Results: the error message above appears. Expected Results: gnome should be updated to version 2.6 a workaround i found is: using USE="-alsa -esd" emerge -u gnome
ayanami root # emerge -p gst-plugins-alsa gst-plugins-esd These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild R ] media-plugins/gst-plugins-alsa-0.8.0 [ebuild N ] media-plugins/gst-plugins-esd-0.8.0 keywords were added to these on amd64 a while ago. emerge sync and try again.
