Description Matt Taylor 2004-12-03 15:45:47 UTC 
Just updated to portage-2.0.51-r8 and now I get this after every emerge command.

--- Invalid atom in /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/gcc2/packages: ~sys-devel/prelink
--- Invalid atom in /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/gcc2/packages: ~dev-util/gnustep-make
--- Invalid atom in /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/gcc2/packages: ~dev-util/gnustep-guile
--- Invalid atom in /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/gcc2/packages: ~dev-util/gnustep-gui
--- Invalid atom in /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/gcc2/packages: ~dev-util/gnustep-base
--- Invalid atom in /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/gcc2/packages: ~dev-util/gnustep-back
--- Invalid atom in /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/gcc2/packages: ~media-video/cinelerra

besides the syntax for '~' being wrong, it is the wrong mark here since these packages should be excluded from the profile, not included. 

Also, ntfsprogs and elfutils are listed as "sys-fs/ntfsprogs" and "dev-libs/elfutils" but they should be excluded as well.

provided you are running portage-2.0.51_rc5 or above, the package.mask file in gcc2 should now work for you.  Please do let me know.
Comment 2 Matt Taylor 2005-01-02 11:45:34 UTC 
package.mask is good, but the invalid atom errors are still there because the entries weren't removed from portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/gcc2/packages
Comment 3 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-01-03 20:51:09 UTC 
oops, sorry about that, I fixed the wrong file on my system (in real PORTDIR instead of my cvs dir).  Fixed now.
