That means your machine could be 100% testing software. At your skill level I do not think this is a good idea. It works for some but not for others.(me) I'm on my Kindle so more help is hard right now. Consider how to get to stable, if that is even possible.

That will likely work. You can also unmask many/most testing packages to the Rev you currently have installed and then likely continue updates running eix-test-obsolete along the way to clean up the unmasked over time. Good luck. Cheers, Mark
