[gentoo-user] system is trying to install mask package
In /etc/portage/package.mask I have masked: =x11-base/xorg-server-1.14.3-r2 but emerge is trying to install it, why? emerge -avq xorg-server * Last emerge --sync was 45d 3h 42m 30s ago. [ebuild r UD] x11-base/xorg-server-1.14.3-r2 [1.14.99.904] USE=ipv6 nptl suid udev xorg -dmx -doc -kdrive -minimal (-selinux) -static-libs -tslib -xnest -xvfb The following mask changes are necessary to proceed: (see package.unmask in the portage(5) man page for more details) # required by @__auto_slot_operator_replace_installed__ (argument) # /etc/portage/package.mask: =x11-base/xorg-server-1.14.3-r2 What is: # required by @__auto_slot_operator_replace_installed__ (argument) -- Joseph

Is this in the main tree? Is this marked as amd64 or ~amd64? Stroller.

I use slim as log-in and it did not show user name on log-in screen or password being typed. I know this was a problem with xorg-server, 1.14 or newer did not work with my video card, so I needed to downgraded it to 1.13 -- Joseph
