1 Can someone decipher this one? As far as portage errors go, this is the
2 most nonsensical one I've seen in a long time (before you ask, boost and
3 boost-build are not masked anywhere):
4
5
6 ===================
7 emerge -auDN --with-bdeps=y @world
8 [...]
9 !!! The following update has been skipped due to unsatisfied dependencies:
10
11 dev-libs/boost:0
12
13 !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "=dev-util/boost-build-1.58*" have
14 been masked.
15 !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your
16 request:
17 - dev-util/boost-build-1.58.0::gentoo (masked by: )
18
19 (dependency required by "dev-libs/boost-1.58.0-r1::gentoo" [ebuild])
20 For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge
21 man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
22 ===================
23
24
25 I've also tried --backtrack=20 (then 30, the 40, then 50), with the same
26 result.
