emerge normally tells you the package that requires the masked dependency. Does adding --verbose give any more detail? Do you have anything in /etc/portage/package.unmask that may affect this? If not, you have found a bug in the tree, because non-masked packages shouldn't depend on masked ones. -- Neil Bothwick This screen intentionally left blank.
