Specific reproduction, for me: (With a x11-base/xfree already installed) ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge x11-base/xdirectfb optional: emerge rsync emerge world -up - Dep check fails - virtuals/x11 nano /var/cache/edb/virtuals - Locate this line: virtual/x11 x11-base/xdirectfb x11-base/xfree - Change it to read the following: (NOT delete x11-base/xdirectfb!) virtual/x11 x11-base/xfree x11-base/xdirectfb emerge world -up - Works now. To fix this, I assume the virtuals dep check system is failing to proceed checking virtuals after running into a masked package? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: emerge x11-base/xfree (emerge other programs?) emerge x11-base/xdirectfb (emerge rsync?) emerge world -up Actual Results: Virtuals/x11 dependancy check failed Expected Results: World upgrade pretend listing... ...you know, I can work circles around alot of my friends..I spend hours in the #gentoo channel helping people...but I really have no idea how to paste info from the terminal here. How pathetic is that? lol...sorry. But I have tried this on three computers now,
/etc/portage/package.keywords nakano: another condition to check for? As for getting info from the terminal... emerge whatever &> file.log Or... Do it in an [axE]term... Highlight with left click, middle click (or both if you don't have a middle) over target window... and you've just pasted.
