On a machine using stable packages, I get the message that module-init-tools requires baselayout from the unstable side. This blocks doing a regular maintenance "emerge -vauDN world". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -vauDN world 2. see error message 3. weep Actual Results: # emerge -vauDN world These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating world dependencies - !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.7-r2" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.8-r5 (masked by: ~ppc keyword) - sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.8-r1 (masked by: ~ppc keyword) - sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.8-r2 (masked by: ~ppc keyword) - sys-apps/baselayout-1.13.0_alpha12 (masked by: package.mask, ~ppc keyword) # Roy Marples <uberlord@gentoo.org> (02 Oct 2006) # masked for testing due to major ebuild and installation changes - sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.9 (masked by: ~ppc keyword) - sys-apps/baselayout-1.13.0_alpha11-r1 (masked by: package.mask, ~ppc keyword) - sys-apps/baselayout-1.13.0_alpha11-r2 (masked by: package.mask, ~ppc keyword) - sys-apps/baselayout-1.13.0_alpha10-r2 (masked by: package.mask, ~ppc keyword) For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook. (dependency required by "sys-apps/module-init-tools-3.2.2-r2" [ebuild]) !!! Problem resolving dependencies for virtual/modutils !!! Depgraph creation failed. Expected Results: No dependency on unstable baselayout. Either remove dependency or make baselayout required stable. Happens on at least two ppc machine I update daily. Here is the info for one of them.

baselayout-1.12.9 is stable on ppc; emerge --sync
Yes, this fixes it. Thanks for the fast work! /Mike
