In general, when you see masked package in 'emerge --search', |
| 2 |
whether you can use it or not depends on how it is masked. |
| 3 |
If it was ~amd64, meaning it is in testing stage, you could compile it and |
| 4 |
probably be happy, but openoffice is -amd64, which means it does not work. |
| 5 |
Unfortunately 'emerge --search' does not give this detailed information. |
| 6 |
One way to check is to run |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS='~amd64' emerge --pretend openoffice and see if |
| 9 |
this unmasks the package. |
