Hello.

Since my last portage update (like many other people), I got the error message
Calculating world dependencies
!!! Problems have been detected with your world file
!!! Please run emaint --check world

I run emaint --check world and it told me this :

'app-emulation/vmware-linux-tools' has no ebuilds available

Then, I do a emerge -s vmware-linux-tools :

*  app-emulation/vmware-linux-tools [ Masked ]
      Latest version available: 5.0.0
      Latest version installed: 5.0.0
      Size of downloaded files: 11,103 kB
      Homepage:    http://www.vmware.com/
      Description: Guest-os tools for VMWare workstation
      License:     vmware

Then I thought "Oh yes, sure this stuff is not into the stable branch !"
(and I'm not "~x86" because I'm a Gentoo newbie)

I make also a emerge --info vmware-linux-tools to check but I saw this :
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86"

I don't understand then why it is masked...

I search on the Gentoo portage documentation and put
app-emulation/vmware-linux-tools
into the /etc/portage/package.unmask file
but after that, nothing changed :-(

I have two questions :
Why is it masked although ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" ?
How could I resolve my issue and make it unmasked for me ?

Thank you :-)
