6 If you know what you're doing, you can always just copy gettext into
7 your OVERLAY and add ~x86 or whatever into KEYWORDS. It should override
8 the one in portage-proper.

10 To be honest, portage is flexible enough for your to hack around all
11 sorts of things. Although that only solves the symptom, and not the
12 problem.

14 The real problem is sylpheed-claws depending on gettext-0.12 which is
15 masked. So sylpheed-claws itself should be masked. But I don't know why
16 it isn't. There is probably a good reason for it.
