Hi! But I think I found the problem. The packages are not masked in emerge, but are shown as masked in eix. It seems to be only an eix problem (version 0.10.5) Did you run update-eix? Yes I did. It didn't help. Daniel -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Hi! I switched to the 2008.0 profile with "eselect profile set". Now every ebuild is masked. Is the 2008.0 profile not yet usable or are some special adjustments necessary? Not sure in your case, although if you provide some more information we may be able to determine if you have a problem.
