vrapenec originaly # 


So how can I install that package when portage cannot find it!

vrapenec originaly # emerge --version
Portage 2.0.49-r3 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.3, glibc-2.3.2-r1, 2.4.22-pre7)
vrapenec originaly #

not a bug, but a feature...

if a package is masked you have to give the full path to the ebuild file.
Comment 2 Martin Mokrejš 2003-09-10 05:29:00 UTC
But the --pretend should show why it is masked! And it says: "!!! all ebuilds that could satisfy "sys-apps/autospeedstep" have been masked.". And I saw once a nice output showing which packages block another package.
