Ah, I think I figured out what was the problem. Looked down further in the Portage output, and saw this:
The following mask changes are necessary to proceed: (see "package.unmask" in the portage(5) man page for more details) # required by gnome-extra/nm-applet-1.0.6::gentoo # required by net-misc/networkmanager-pptp-1.0.6::gentoo[gtk] # required by @selected # required by @world (argument) # /etc/portage/package.mask: # 2015-09-19--01 =net-misc/networkmanager-1.0.6 # required by net-misc/networkmanager-pptp-1.0.6::gentoo[gtk] # required by @selected # required by @world (argument) # /etc/portage/package.mask: # 2015-09-14--01 =gnome-extra/nm-applet-1.0.6 # required by net-misc/networkmanager-1.0.6::gentoo[bluetooth] # required by gnome-extra/nm-applet-1.0.6::gentoo # required by net-misc/networkmanager-pptp-1.0.6::gentoo[gtk] # required by @selected # required by @world (argument) # /etc/portage/package.mask: # 2015-06-22--01 =net-wireless/bluez-5.33 It appears that 'net-misc/networkmanager-1.0.6' was being pulled in by 'gnome-extra/nm-applet-1.0.6::gentoo', 'net-misc/networkmanager-pptp-1.0.6::gentoo[gtk]', and so on, and these were just being reported further down below. So I added them to '/etc/portage/package,mask' as well and the problem went away. -- Marat -------- Original Message -------- Subject: 'emerge --update @world -pv' keeps trying to upgrade to a masked package From: Marat BN <mara...@gmail.com> To: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org Date: 10/13/2015 05:53 PM > Hello there, > > I'm having a curious problem trying to update my system. > > I issue the command: > > emerge --update @world -pv > > > Portage comes back with the following: > > !!!
