How do you see that radicale is marked for testing?[snip] The actual error mesg: / !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "radicale" have been masked.// // !!!

The ~amd64 keyword means www-apps/radicale is only available on testing, otherwise the keyword would have been amd64 (without the tilde). So portage is telling you it can’t install www-apps/radicale-3.1.7 because it’s only available on testing, which it does by saying it’s “masked by [the] ~amd64 keyword”. That’s a different thing than masking a package using a package.mask file, where the package is technically available for your architecture but someone (usually you or the gentoo developpers) decided it wasn’t fit to be installed: for instance the recent discovery of a backdoor in xz-utils-5.4.6 led the gentoo developpers to mask this package, by adding it to the /var/db/repos/gentoo/profiles/package.mask file which you retrieved by syncing your gentoo tree.
