[ebuild R ] kde-misc/krusader-cvs-1-r4 USE="javascript konqueror -arts -debug -xinerama" 0 kB [1] Total size of downloads: 0 kB Portage overlays: [1] /usr/local/portage ... but I found the problem. There was an old setting in /etc/portage/package.mask that needed to be cleared out (I had masked >= some 3.4 version of kioslaves, for reasons that I assume were good at the time, but I totally forgot that I had ever done it, so I certainly don't remember why I had done it). Removing that enabled the profile package.mask to work normally once I removed the bogus and unnecessary /etc/portage/package.unmask settings. So that's fine then, sorry for the noise and thanks for the encouragement to get to the bottom of what I had done to screw things up (since I knew it had to be me, given that Portage really is unlikely to have gone so schizo without anyone noticing *but* me :-) ). We now return you to your regularly scheduled thread (with a possible advisory to Ian to check his little-used /etc/portage files; maybe there's a setting that you forgot you put there, as well :-) ).
