I've been reading for the last hour about how to use /etc/portage/package.keywords, but my changes to this file do not have any effect. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.add "app-text/texlive ~*" or "app-text/texlive ~amd64" to package.keywords 2.try to emerge the package 3. Actual Results: !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "texlive" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - app-text/texlive-2007 (masked by: missing keyword) Expected Results: expected the package to install, or expected additional warnings about dependencies being masked. emerge --info: Portage 2.1.3.14 (default-linux/amd64/2007.0/desktop, gcc-4.2.2, glibc-2.6.1-r0, 2.6.23-gentoo x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.23-gentoo x86_64 Dual Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 275 Timestamp of tree: Thu, 18 Oct 2007 18:00:09 +0000 app-shells/bash: 3.2_p17-r1 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.1.2-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.5.1-r2 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r6 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.10-r5 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1-r1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.5, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.24 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.23 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=k8 -mtune=k8 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=k8 -mtune=k8 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="collision-protect distlocks fixpackages metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo" LANG="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" LINGUAS="en en_US" MAKEOPTS="-j5" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages --filter=H_**/files/digest-*" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow X aac acl acpi alsa amd64 apache2 arts atlas avahi bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts blas bookmarks branding bzip2 cairo cblas cdr cli cracklib crypt ctype cups dbus doc dri dvd dvdr dvdread eds emacs emboss encode epydoc esd evo examples f77 fam fftw firefox foomativdb fortran gdbm gif gimpprint gpm gstreamer gtk hal iconv imagemagick imap isdnlog ivman java jpeg jpeg2k kde kerberos lapack latex ldap lzo mad mdnsresponder-compat midi mikmod mime mmap mmx mozbranding mozilla mozsvg mp3 mpeg mplayer mudflap multislot ncurses nptl nptlonly nsplugin ogg opengl openmp oss pam pcre pdf perl pic png ppds pppd python qt3 qt3support qt4 quicktime readline reflection rss samba sdl session spell spl sse sse2 ssl subversion svg symlink tcltk tcpd tetex threads tiff tk truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts umfpack unicode usb vorbis webdav winbind wxwindows xcomposite xfs xinerama xml xorg xv zeroconf zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="en en_US" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia vga nv" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
Please, stop using bugzilla as a support forum. echo "app-text/texlive -*" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
Sigh... echo "app-text/texlive **" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
