(I assuming you have www-proxy-squid-2.5.7-r2 installed) package.mask lists the packages you don't want installed. You've just told it you don't wnat any version greater than *or equal to* 2.5.7-r2 or www-proxy/squid installed. Instead, you probably want to drop your '=' from the line so that you drop the "or equal to" semantics. Of course, that won't affect a downgrade path (if some piece of software needs a lower version, or that ebuild somehow becomes unsuitable), so you could also add <www-proxy/squid-2.5.7-r2. On this note, can a dev tell me if the world file can contain full atoms like www-proxy/squid-2.5.7-r2 (ala the system file(s)) or can it only be cat-egory/package? -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy -- [email protected] mailing list
