Have you tried telling it to just attempt the emerge anyway?
echo sys-apps/ifplugd x86 >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
emerge ifplugd
This works most of the time, in my experience.
I gave that a shot (replacing "x68" with "sparc"), without any luck.
Portage still says it's blocked by a missing keyword. I opened up the
ebuild file and 'sparc' was not in the list of KEYWORDS.
Has anyone on the list ever used anything other than ifplugd for
backgrounding the network service?
Thanks,
Stephen
