That's almost certainly because keywords aren't set correctly, as you are |
| 11 |
seeing only the stable versions, not ~arch. If you don't see them using |
| 12 |
emerge search, try going into the portage tree on the actual filesystem |
| 13 |
and look there. Look under $PORTDIR/app-office/gnucash and $PORTDIR/dev- |
| 14 |
libs/g-wrap. ($PORTDIR replaced with the location of your portage dir on |
| 15 |
your system, of course.) If you see them there, you have them in the |
| 16 |
tree. You just haven't unmasked them properly. |

As BSSJr explains, 1.2 is an incompatible earlier version, with different |
| 26 |
interfaces available to the programs that use it. Because the interfaces |
| 27 |
are different, programs using it can use one major version or the other, |
| 28 |
but can't switch between them without reworking their own code to use the |
| 29 |
other interface. |

Anyway, the problem would seem to be that your efforts at unmasking ~arch |
| 32 |
ebuilds aren't working. I'd suggest you go back and read the handbook, |
| 33 |
which covers unmasking using package.keyword and package.unmask in some |
| 34 |
detail. If it still doesn't work after that, perhaps as BSSJr suggested, |
| 35 |
it's time to get someone else to look at it. |
