I did: emerge sync emerge --update --deep --newuse --pretend world Error: !!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=gnome-base/libgtop-2.8" have been masked. !!!! one of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - gnome/base/libgtop-2.8.0 (masked by: ~amd64 keyword) - gnome/base/libgtop-2.8.1 (masked by: ~amd64 keyword) - gnome/base/libgtop-2.8.2 (masked by: ~amd64 keyword) Then it says the dependency is required by "gnome-base/gnome-applets-2.8.1.1" [ebuild]. It wraps it all up by saying there is a problem with ebuild gnome-base/gnome-2.6.2-r1 possibly a DEPEND/*DEPEND problem. Depgraph creation failed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. See details above. Just update world and it happens. Expected Results: it shoulda-- ah, you know.
I just did it again... got the error for - gnome/extra/gal-2.2.3 (masked by ~amd64 keyword) as well. W
The gal problem is reported as bug #77211 by me. If you add the following lines to your "/etc/portage/package.keywords" file gnome will emerge: gnome-extra/gal ~amd64 gnome-base/libgtop ~amd64 gnome-extra/gnome-utils ~amd64
Yeah but are they stable packages? I assume they're masked for a reason?
This got missed out somehow when I was stabilising GNOME 2.8 last night. Fixed in CVS.
