[gentoo-user] When masked pkg not in [...]profiles/package.mask, where is it

[Harry Putnam]

When a package comes up as masked in an eix search, they are usually
found in /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask, but if a particular
masked package is not listed there... where else would it be.

I see libtool is masked above version 1.5.26-r1, but is not in
/usr/portage/profiles/package.mask...

  grep libtool /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask
  <nothing>

Where else to look?

Even this: search
  find /usr/portage/ -name 'package.mask' -exec grep libtool {} \;
  # Some weird libtool breakage on Solaris and Darwin

Only finds the cited comment.
