Hi, I am trying to emerge baselayout-lite using the following command
ROOT=/embedded_rootfs emerge embedded_rootfs baselayout-lite-1.0_pre1.ebuild It fails with the following message. *** emerging by path is broken and may not always work!!! Calculating dependencies - *** You are emerging a masked package. It is MUCH better to use *** /etc/portage/package.* to accomplish this. See portage(5) man *** page for details. >>> Waiting 10 seconds before starting... >>> (Control-C to abort)... Continuing... in: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 | !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "baselayout-lite-1.0_pre1.ebuild" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - sys-apps/baselayout-lite-1.0_pre1 (masked by: missing keyword) For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook. Now based on the mailing list and man pages I try to fix it but nothing seem to work. 1. I checked that the package is not masked in /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask 2. /etc/portage/package.keywords/ is a directory and not a file like everybody else is seeing. 3. The KEYWORDS in /usr/portage/sys-apps/baselayout-lite/baselayout- lite-1.0_pre1.ebuild is "" Please help me with this. Regards, Phani
