I can't find gtkdiff but csh is indeed masked: Put simply, your current system is old, but it appears you've updated your portage tree. Portage is telling you that you have these packages installed but it can't find them in the portage tree. For example, nvidia-glx has long been replaced by nvidia-drivers. In the Gentoo world, you stand to suffer a bit if you wait a long time between updates. If you truly intend to keep your system old, I would recommend you make a snapshot of the portage tree as well as your DISTDIR as those files may no longer be available as well. But if you truly want to do an upgrade, would it not be better to do a emerge -Duva world as opposed to emerge -eva. -eva isn't upgrading anything, it's just re-building what you already have, but since many things you have currently no longer exist in portage, it's likely better to -u instead of -e. p.s. Seems like a few people are just now upgrading to 2006.1 when 2007.0 is soon to be released... why are you a year behind? -- Albert W. Hopkins -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Could someone tell me how is portage looking for it? I think I had it installed before the upgrade. None of the nvidia stuff is currently installed but were installed before the system emerge. It looks like lapack has been split into a number of packages with an eselect module to choose the one you want. At least, that's what the output from eix lapack implies to me. media-video/nvidia-glx and media-video/nvidia-kernel have been replaced by nvidia-drivers. If you had a package installed before the upgrade, you still have it, because changing the profile or running emerge -e world (which isn't really necessary) don't unmerge anything. -- Neil Bothwick ISDN: It Still Does Nothing signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Agreed, and I should also tell the OP that 'emaint --check world' will also help point out any stale packages and other things in your world file. -- Albert W.
