So even the qt3 that I have installed is masked. What's going on? I
have and plan to keep KDE 3.5.8 around for a while so I assume it

What's the best thing to do here?
Well, it's not all masked in the tree:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ eix -e qt
[I] x11-libs/qt
Available versions:
(3) 3.3.4-r8 3.3.8-r4
(4) 4.3.1-r1 4.3.2 4.3.2-r1 (~)4.3.3 [M](~)4.4.0_rc1
You've been using autounmask lately? Maybe that screwed it up. Or maybe
you did, especially aas you just confessed in public to being an
idiot :-)
Check the contents of /etc/portage/package.mask/*
Actually, I hadn't used autounmask, yet. I was trying not to use it
actually. When I ran autounmask, it fixed it. I got a couple blocks to
deal with but after autounmask did it's thing, it seems a lot happier
now. I had tried the keyword and unmask file off the Gentoo howto but I
guess it needs a little update or something.
Oh, I keep back-ups of my /etc directory and even a couple old copies of
keyword/unmask/mask files, just in case I do something silly.
Yea, I sometimes do things that makes me feel like a idiot. Don't we
all tho??
