27 Odd, sounds like a bad ebuild (no KEYWORDS var?) or a bugged portage (no
28 longer recognizes the special KEYWORDs).

30 On my system:
31 $ grep -i keyw /usr/portage/media-libs/ploticus/*.ebuild
32 /usr/portage/media-libs/ploticus/ploticus-2.32.ebuild:KEYWORDS="ppc x86"
33 /usr/portage/media-libs/ploticus/ploticus-2.33.ebuild:KEYWORDS="~ppc ~x86"
34 so, it doesn't *look* like a bad ebuild.
35
36 First, check your local ebuilds, and make sure you don't have an
37 interfering overlay. Also, make sure you don't have two (or more)
38 media-libs/ploticus lines in your package.keywords. If that all checks
39 out, I suppose it could be a portage bug.
