17 The problem is that it is trying to install the latest ~arch version
18 of rstudio, which seems like a portage bug to me.

20 This command works fine:
21 emerge -pvDuN "=sci-mathematics/rstudio-0.98.490-r1"

23 There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with rstudio here, only that
24 portage is trying to install an unstable version of it on a stable
25 system. I'd suggest logging a portage bug.
