portage/profiles/package.mask states --- # Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn <chithanh@gentoo.org> (14 May 2014) # Depends on libevdev which still needs keywording, bug #487944 >=x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.8.99 >=x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics-1.7.99 --- Also x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.9 maybe needed by xorg-server-1.16 ... runs well together for me using Gentoo~testing Reproducible: Always
The reason for the mask is given in bug 487944, it was done so the deptree would not break and give arches more time to keyword the package. That time is about to elapse though. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 487944 ***
