Description a_tevelev 2010-12-16 21:34:06 UTC

media-plugins/npapi-vlc fails to build.

/etc/portage/package.keywords contains the following line:

media-plugins/npapi-vlc ~amd64

/etc/portage/package.accept_keywords contains the following line:

media-plugins/npapi-vlc

The package still does not build:


# emerge -pv media-plugins/npapi-vlc

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

Calculating dependencies... done!

!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "media-plugins/npapi-vlc" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- media-plugins/npapi-vlc-9999 (masked by: missing keyword)

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

Everything is working correctly.
There's only a live ebuild there so it's got no keywords.

If you want to use a live ebuild you generally will need to:

echo "app-cat/pkg **" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
echo "app-cat/pkg" >> /etc/portage/package.mask

Switch your keyword from ~amd64 to ** and unmask it and you should be good to go. 

Closing this. If that doesn't fix your problem, feel free to reopen it. Thanks!

Yes, it works. Thank you. Sorry for the noise.
