Good evening, This evening I ran across something I have have not seen in my long experience with Gentoo (about 2 months now). I just did an
# emerge --sync # emerge -auDv world which returned Calculating world dependencies - !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=sys-devel/libperl-5.8.6" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - sys-devel/libperl-5.8.6 (masked by: ~x86 keyword) For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or section 2.2 "Software Availability" in the Gentoo Handbook. !!! (dependency required by "dev-lang/perl-5.8.6-r4" [ebuild]) Am i reading this right? A stable package has an unstable dependency ! Please let me know if you beleive this is an error in the perl ebuild. Thanks, John -- The revolution will not be televised. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
