23 Putting "~x86" in package.keywords still gets me this:
24
25 jupiter portage # emerge -pv snort
26
27 These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
28
29 Calculating dependencies
30 !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "snort" have been masked.
31 !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your
32 request:
33 - - net-analyzer/snort-2.6.0 (masked by: package.mask)
34 # Marcelo Goes <vanquirius@g.o> (07 Jul 2006)
35 # Masked for testing
36 # Please see bug 136250 for more details
37
38 - - net-analyzer/snort-2.4.5 (masked by: -sparc keyword)
39
40 For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man
41 page or
42 refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
43
44 But putting '-sparc' seems to work:
45
46 jupiter portage # emerge -av snort
47
48 These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
49
50 Calculating dependencies... done!
