There you go, that's your problem. The ebuild is keyworded ~x86, meaning |
5 |
it won't emerge on amd64 without the necessary keyword. There's nothing |
6 |
wrong with this keytword, it simply means that the dev hasn't rated it |

for use on other arches. |

It's possible that dzen won't build/run on any other arch, but that's |
10 |
unlikely as there's no indication of this in the ebuild. All the emerge |
11 |
output you quote below is normal for this situation. |

|

Run this and re-emerge and see what happens: |
14 |
|
15 |
echo "x11-misc/dzen **" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords |
16 |
|

If it breaks you get to keep both pieces. Welcome to Gentoo :-) |
