It is still compiling. (my system is a Via 600MHz - so it will take som time) Where can I read more about "masked"? I have questions like: Why use unmask? Why not use unmask? If I unmask a package now, will that spoil the same package later? etc. /hans -- Even if you hate images of text on the web, this tutorial... -- http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/ -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] xorg-x11 / setxkbmap masked
Hi I have several Gentoo installations which works fine but this one id broken. When I do a: emerge xorg-x11 I get: Calculating dependencies - !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=x11-apps/setxkbmap-1.0.1" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - x11-apps/setxkbmap-1.0.2 (masked by: ~x86 keyword) For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook. !!!(dependency required by "x11-base/xorg-x11-7.0-r1" [ebuild]) I then tried to remove setxkbmap: --- Couldn't find setxkbmap to unmerge. >>> unmerge: No packages selected for removal. The worst problem I have is that I can not do a "emerge world" as this gives the same error. What can I do? Remove xorg-x11 and install it again? best regards/hans -- Even if you hate images of text on the web, this tutorial... -- http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/ -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
