One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - media-sound/gnormalize-0.50 (masked by: missing keyword) I've added gnormalize to package.keywords and package.unmask. Does the above output mean it isn't available for amd64?

This is how my unmasked packages looks: net-www/netscape-flash ~x86 app-sci/foldingathome ~x86 Just replace with what applies to you of course. That is in package.keywords file of course.
