guess its not just xpm ... i get it with x11-libs/gtk+-2.0.6-r2 and anytime i specify '-u' ...
ok, so this happens because i merged xdirectfb and then rsync-ed and bam it was back in mask ... so this is kind of related to Bug 8810 ... basically not the greatest handling of virtual/pkg ... i have x11-base/xfree installed (provides virtual/x11) and i have masked x11-base/xdirectfb installed (also provides virtual/x11) ... me thinks portage should handle this better but i am at a lack of suggestions of how ...

Hi there, Did some poking around, and I found out how to fix this problem: Edit the file /var/cache/edb/virtuals and the entry for virtual/x11 will have xdirectfb and xfree on the same line. All you have to do is remove the xdirectfb entry and that fixed my problem. So change the line that says: virtual/x11 x11-base/xdirectfb x11-base/xfree to virtual/x11 x11-base/xfree There we go. Hope this helps, Chris P.S. Sorry for the duplicate bug I posted previously :)
Just a further note, perhaps masked programs shouldn't provide virtuals unless the user is running unstable branch?
editing what packages have a PROVIDE in them and which do not wont fix the problem ... and if you have a packages that PROVIDE's something but then is later masked for security reasons or whatever, this would crop up again

I'm having this problem with the amavis ebuild. emerge: there are no masked or unmasked ebuilds to satisfy "virtual/antivirus". Is there an answer hidden in these messages?
that error is because someone messed up, it is unrelated to this bug
actually, i lie ... thats a new virtual thats been added since ive been out of the loop ;) review comment #8 to fix your problem ...

I just had this issue with virtual/linux-sources. Inspired by comment #8, I checked the virtuals file and found this line in it: virtual/linux-sources sys-kernel/gentoo-test-sources sys-kernel/gentoo-sources After changing it to virtual/linux-sources sys-kernel/gentoo-sources sys-kernel/gentoo-test-sources emerge worked again. gentoo-test-sources is indeed masked, but gentoo-sources is not. It might be that emerge is only looking at the first provider for a given virtual.

I just hit this problem, resolution below. I cannot believe that this problem has been kicking around since February 2003! This is almost a year. Can this be esculated? I was told it was not the fault of the XFree people, has it landed in the wrong hands? virtual/x11 x11-base/xdirectfb x11-base/xfree to virtual/x11 x11-base/xfree

supposed to be fixed in 2.0.50 which is stable now. If this bug is not fixed please reopen.
