You need to unmask the package by: echo "sys-apps/baselayout -* ~*" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
http://gentoo-wiki.com/MAN_portage_5 http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_Dealing_with_masked_packages -----Original Message----- From: Benedict, Michael [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 26, 2007 11:33 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [gentoo-embedded] xmerge gentoo-sources failure I have been following the steps posted on http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/embedded/cross-development.xml to set up a cross compiler. The host is an i686-pc-linux-gnu and the taget is a powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu system. Everything seems to work until I try to emerge the kernel sources. In fact, I was able to xmerge a library (gdbm). I don't know what other information to provide, but I was unable to find someone else with this problem is several google searches. Any ideas? # xmerge gentoo-sources Calculating dependencies | !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.7-r2" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.8-r5 (masked by: ~x86 keyword) - sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.8-r1 (masked by: ~x86 keyword) - sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.8-r2 (masked by: ~x86 keyword) - sys-apps/baselayout-1.13.0_alpha12 (masked by: package.mask, ~x86 keyword) # Roy Marples <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (02 Oct 2006) # masked for testing due to major ebuild and installation changes - sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.9 (masked by: ~x86 keyword) - sys-apps/baselayout-1.13.0_alpha11-r1 (masked by: package.mask, ~x86 keyword) - sys-apps/baselayout-1.13.0_alpha11-r2 (masked by: package.mask, ~x86 keyword) - sys-apps/baselayout-1.13.0_alpha10-r2 (masked by: package.mask, ~x86 keyword) For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
