ghostscript-7.07.1-r10.ebuild is already ~ppc-macos (unstable)

The error you have is not ppc-macos specific, but it sounds like you're
operating on a network device or a filesystem that is updated.  Are you able to
repeat this?  What filesystem do you run your portage tree on?  I see you have
an old version of portage, can you upgrade it and try again?

(I run 2.0.51.22-r2)

> Are you able to repeat this?  
Yes

> What filesystem do you run your portage tree on?  
Normal Mac OS Extended (Journaled), I suppose (MacOSX Tiger on a Mac Mini)

Unfortunately no. There is some CANTFIX bug related to some .pyo files which 
cannot be copied which keep me on -r1.

read the comments on the bug your bug was duplicated to.  You need to manually
disable colission-protect for once.

[Comment 4 Dirk Schoenberger 2005-09-10 12:19:46 UTC]

after upgrading to portage 2.0.51.22-r2
ghostscript (7.07.1-r10) emerges fine

[Comment 5 Fabian Groffen 2005-09-10 12:25:05 UTC]

ok, nice.  Thanks for trying.

[Comment 6 Dirk Schoenberger 2005-09-10 13:31:58 UTC]

> ok, nice.  Thanks for trying.

Could you please enable ghostscript (and some prerequisites like gnu-gs-fonts-
std-8.11) for ppc-macos? In stock gentoo they are disabled...

Packages are bound to be marked unstable first.  You can manually switch to the
unstable packages using:
% env ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~ppc-macos" emerge -pv ghostscript
or make it permanent by editing /etc/make.conf

I'd advice you yo use the first method, but the second would make sense too,
since we only mark 'unstable' in general.  Up to you to decide, just be aware
that many packages are only available as 'unstable'.
