Hi, everyone
I'm sending this question here because media-libs/ploticus
is not masked
on x86.
The whole story:
Since I need this package I unmasked it several months ago
by:
echo media-libs/ploticus
>>/etc/portage/package.unmask
Then I emerged it w/o problem and currently I have
media-libs/ploticus-2.32 installed. Yesterday (after a
scheduled daily
sync) portage started to complain like this:
======
emerge -DuN world -pv
!!! Ebuilds for the following packages are either all
!!! masked or don't exist:
media-libs/ploticus
======
emerge -pv media-libs/ploticus
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy
"media-libs/ploticus" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to
complete your
request:
- media-libs/ploticus-2.33 (masked by: missing keyword)
- media-libs/ploticus-2.32 (masked by: missing keyword)
=====
Following "http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-amd64-faq.xml
#keyword" I did:
echo "media-libs/ploticus ~* *" >>
/etc/portage/package.keywords
..but the result is the same.
What should I do in order make portage stop complaining?
P.S.
1) I'm fine with the currently installed version of ploticus
and I don't
care about the version, since I use the most basic
functionality which I
expect is included in all the versions.
2) Catch-22:
According to the x86 handbook "missing keyword"
means the package isn't
tested and that's why it is masked. In order to get it
unmasked one
should send a request to the testing team or test it for
them and report
the results. Well, no one can test the package because
he/she can't
install it in the first place because the package is
masked.
