when masking packages locally, /etc/package.mask should overwrite packages unmasked by /etc/portage/package.unmask. I.e. when emerging kde-3.3.4, add kde-base/kde kde-base/kdewebdev kde-base/kdelibs kde-base/arts kde-base/kdebase kde-base/kdeadmin kde-base/kdemultimedia kde-base/kdegraphics kde-base/kdenetwork kde-base/kdegames kde-base/kdeartwork kde-base/kdeutils kde-base/kdeaddons kde-base/kdepim kde-base/kdetoys kde-base/kdeedu kde-base/kde-i18n to package.unmask. Because I'm using localisation, and kde-i18n's newest version is 3.4.0_beta2, while the other packages are at version 3.4.0_rc1-r1, I'm stuck in a upgrade / downgrade cycle of kde-base/kdelibs and kde-base/arts. When adding =kde-base/arts-3.4.0_rc1 and =kde-base/kdelibs-3.4.0_rc1-r1 to /etc/portage/package.mask, portage should install all upgrades. Workaround: add <=kde-base/arts-3.4.0_rc1, <=kde-base/kdelibs-3.4.0_rc1-r1 etc to package.unmask instead of unmasking ALL versions. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
