ekeyword does not understand if nor evaluate ${PV}, so problematic syntax (i.e. x11-wm/openbox/openbox-3.6.ebuild) if [[ ${PV} == *9999* ]]; then KEYWORDS="" else KEYWORDS="~alpha ~amd64 ~arm ~arm64 ~hppa ~mips ~ppc ~ppc64 ~sparc ~x86 fi edited with #ekeyword arm64 x11-wm/openbox/openbox-3.6.ebuild openbox-3.6: <green>arm64</green> openbox-3.6: ~alpha ~amd64 ~arm <red>~</red>arm64 ~hppa ~mips ~ppc ~ppc64 ~sparc ~x86 ~x86-fbsd ~arm-linux ~x86-linux results in diff --git a/x11-wm/openbox/openbox-3.6.ebuild b/x11-wm/openbox/openbox-3.6.ebuild index 1311371aa8..a0ac268dab 100644 --- a/x11-wm/openbox/openbox-3.6.ebuild +++ b/x11-wm/openbox/openbox-3.6.ebuild @@ -13,12 +13,12 @@ if [[ ${PV} == *9999* ]]; then EGIT_REPO_URI="git://git.openbox.org/dana/openbox" SRC_URI="branding?

I have no idea how to enhance ekeyword to understand this stuff, so I'd suggest removing [useless, unneeded, waste of cpu] empty KEYWORDS="" inside if [[ ${PV} == *9999* ]] structures.
