Description Jonas Jonsson 2006-12-21 08:18:53 UTC

When doing an emerge and the package is masked by ~amd64 it doesn't printout that the package belongs to an overlay.

Example of a problem.

$ sudo emerge libwnck -pv
Calculating dependencies   
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "libwnck" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- x11-libs/libwnck-2.16.2 (masked by: ~amd64 keyword)
- x11-libs/libwnck-2.16.1 (masked by: ~amd64 keyword)
- x11-libs/libwnck-2.14.2 (masked by: ~amd64 keyword)

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or 
refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

$ cat /usr/portage/x11-libs/libwnck/libwnck-2.16.2.ebuild | grep KEYWORDS
KEYWORDS="~alpha amd64 ~arm ~hppa ~ia64 ppc ppc64 ~sh sparc x86"

$ sudo env ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64" emerge libwnck -pv

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

It looks like this was fixed around commit e92bdc4e4b955a93409f64bcc5aac5b6333234de from 2010 perhaps, but in any case the requested functionality (include repo name in the output) has been present for quite some time now.
