I tried to install gnome shell from the gnome overlay and therefor want to unmask the needed packages. I run: # autounmask gnome-base/gnome-shell-2.31.5 autounmask version 0.27 (using PortageXS-0.02.09 and portage-2.1.8.3) * Using repositories: /usr/portage /usr/local/portage/layman/java-overlay /usr/local/portage/layman/gnome * Using package.keywords file: /etc/portage/package.keywords * Using package.unmask file: /etc/portage/package.unmask * Using package.use file: /etc/portage/package.use * Unmasking gnome-base/gnome-shell-2.31.5 and its dependencies.. this might take a while.. * Added '=gnome-base/gnome-shell-2.31.5 ~amd64' to /etc/portage/package.keywords * Added '=gnome-base/gnome-shell-2.31.5' to /etc/portage/package.unmask * Added '=gnome-base/gconf-2.28.1 introspection' to /etc/portage/package.use * Added '=gnome-base/gconf-2.28.1 introspection' to /etc/portage/package.use * Added '=gnome-base/gconf-2.28.1 introspection' to /etc/portage/package.use [ this line repeats infinitely until I press CTRL-C ] ^C * Aborting due to user interrupt! * Restoring files. * done! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.autounmask gnome-base/gnome-shell-2.31.5 2. wait for completion... 3. get impatient and hit ctrl-c Actual Results: Original files are restored on hitting ctrl-c, nothing is unmasked. Expected Results: Some entries for unmasked packages... # emerge --info Portage 2.1.8.3 (default/linux/amd64/10.0, gcc-4.4.3, glibc-2.11.2-r0, 2.6.34-gentoo-r11 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.34-gentoo-r11-x86_64-Intel-R-_Core-TM-2_CPU_6300_@_1.86GHz-with-gentoo-1.12.13 Timestamp of tree: Sat, 30 Oct 2010 07:00:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 4.1_p7 dev-java/java-config: 2.1.11 dev-lang/python: 2.6.5-r3, 3.1.2-r4 dev-util/cmake: 2.8.1-r2 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.13 sys-apps/sandbox: 2.3-r1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.65-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.9.6-r3, 1.10.3, 1.11.1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.20.1-r1 sys-devel/gcc: 3.4.6-r2, 4.4.3-r2 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.10 sys-devel/make: 3.81-r2 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.30-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" ACCEPT_LICENSE="* -@EULA dlj-1.1 skype-eula sun-bcla-java-vm AdobeFlash-10 AdobeFlash-10.1 googleearth" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/X11/xkb /var/lib/hsqldb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/eselect/postgresql /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="assume-digests distlocks fixpackages news parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org" LANG="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_ALL="de_DE.UTF-8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed" LINGUAS="de en" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage/layman/java-overlay /usr/local/portage/layman/gnome" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X acl acpi alsa amd64 avahi berkdb branding bzip2 cairo cddb cdparanoia cdr cjk cli consolekit cracklib crypt cups cxx dbus dri dvdr fontconfig gdbm gdu gimp gimpprint gnome gnome-print gpm gstreamer gtk hal iconv java java6 jpeg kqemu maildir mdnsresponder-compat mmx mng modules mozilla mp3 mpeg mudflap multilib ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin ogg opengl openmp pam pcre perl png pppd python readline scanner sdl session smp sql sqlite sse sse2 ssl svg sysfs syslog tcpd theora tiff truetype type1 unicode usb vorbis webkit xinerama xorg zlib" ALSA_CARDS="hda_intel" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache cgi cgid dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" COLLECTD_PLUGINS="df interface irq load memory rrdtool swap syslog" ELIBC="glibc" GPSD_PROTOCOLS="ashtech aivdm earthmate evermore fv18 garmin garmintxt gpsclock itrax mtk3301 nmea ntrip navcom oceanserver oldstyle oncore rtcm104v2 rtcm104v3 sirf superstar2 timing tsip tripmate tnt ubx" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="de en" PHP_TARGETS="php5-2" QEMU_SOFTMMU_TARGETS="x86_64" QEMU_USER_TARGETS="x86_64" RUBY_TARGETS="ruby18" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="intel" XTABLES_ADDONS="quota2 psd pknock lscan length2 ipv4options ipset ipp2p iface geoip fuzzy condition tee tarpit sysrq steal rawnat logmark ipmark dhcpmac delude chaos account" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
