>>> merging sys-devel/binutils-2.16-r1
Calculating dependencies
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "=sys-devel/binutils-2.16-r1" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- sys-devel/binutils-2.16-r1 (masked by: -* keyword)

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
section 2.2 "Software Availability" in the Gentoo Handbook.

After package unmask

$ grep binutils /etc/portage/package.keywords
sys-devel/binutils ~x86

and installing binutils-6.12 'glsa-check -f all' reemerges package 'binutils' each time I launch glsa-check, also binutils-6.12 is already installed:

$ emerge -pv binutils

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R   ] sys-devel/binutils-2.16-r1  -debug +multislot -multitarget +nls -test 0 kB

$ binutils-config -l
 [1] i686-pc-linux-gnu-2.15.92.0.2
 [2] i686-pc-linux-gnu-2.16 *

May be this problem is due to binutils package is slotted?

s/also binutils-6.12 is already installed/although binutils-6.12 is already
installed/

[Comment 2 Marius Mauch (RETIRED) 2005-06-13 23:31:04 UTC]

Hmm, what does `emerge -pv =sys-devel/binutils-2.16-r1` give you?

[Comment 3 Marius Mauch (RETIRED) 2005-11-15 13:15:01 UTC]

old, and more information required.
