Description Christopher Smith 2008-03-27 19:56:26 UTC

When running emerge on a list of several packages, more than one of which is masked (say by the ~x86 keyword on a x86-only system), portage exits after listing just the first masked package.  When performing a revdep-rebuild, for instance, this can require dozens of false starts before getting the system updated, since the user can't issue a single "ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~arch emerge <packages>" command.

portage should list all masked packages, as it does with blocked packages.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Try to emerge more than one masked package.
Actual Results:  
portage reports the first masked package but not the other(s)

Expected Results:  
portage should report all problems with masked packages

I think you have a valid request, but generally, it's better practice to use the autounmask program (from the app-portage/autounmask package) to unmask packages instead of overriding ACCEPT_KEYWORDS via the environment.

Comment 2 Christopher Smith 2008-03-29 02:37:31 UTC

In this case, the actual underlying issue was not a masking problem, but rather treated as a masking problem by portage and resolved in the same way.  Specifically, revdep-rebuild can try to emerge specific atoms that no longer exist in the portage tree, and instead of reporting all of the missing ebuilds (which portage treats as having a null keyword), it only reports the first.  However, reporting all the masking problems at once will both fix the ~arch issue and the no-ebuild issue.

Add depends on 280097 because Zac add it in duplicate bug 281185

Is this bug not resolved by the addition of --autounmask (portage-2.1.9)?  Seems to work pretty well for me.
