Of course, if I try 'emerge -1aDv enlightenment', then all bets are off without explicitly masking e16 off as Alan has done. I can remove that masking from here now, it dates back years to when e17 was in an overlay with some peculiar masking applied. Portage too many times would miss an update and want to install e16 so the easiest was to just mask it locally. I don't really need that anymore, so thanks for getting me to look there :-) -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com

I want to emerge the latest available in the tree, which right now happens to be (~) 0.18.7. So I added this in my keywords: =x11-wm/enlightenment-0.18.7:0.17 ~amd64 Either drop the = or drop the SLOT :0.17 = always means a specific version is to be specified and a SLOT is not a version OK, dropping = still wants to install e16. Dropping still wants to install e16. Dropping the SLOT :0.17 still wants to install e16. There must be some way of bringing in any =0.18.7:0.17, but not 'x11- wm/enlightenment-1.0.11:0' What else could I try? x11-wm/enlightenment:0.17 ~amd64 - Jörg
