First of all, evolution 1.3.1 is actually beta which may not be evident from the filename and if you do 'grep evolution /usr/portage/profiles/packages.mask it warns about possible breakage. It installs in a separate slot to 1.2.1 so can coexist with 1.2.1 though AFAIK which makes it a little safer to try. As for installing it try the following as root. emerge /usr/portage/net-mail/evolution/evolution-1.3.1.ebuild Also if you add the following line to the end of your /etc/profile it will save you having to type in ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86" all the time. export AK="env ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86" Then, whenever you wish to install a masked package you can just do: $AK emerge <packagename> -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
