I remember that the problem is that the distfiles can't be downloaded: |

"Upstream deleted all files more than 6 years ago and is inactive. |

See also bug #628960 |

Masked for removal on 2018-02-01" |

(For the future: "eix linux-gazette -v -l" will show you the mask message, |
| 25 |
alternatively "grep -r linux-gazette /usr/portage/profiles/" will show you |
| 26 |
which file the mask is defined in.) |

Point is, unmasking won't make the ebuilds work. I would copy everything the |
| 29 |
linux-gazette ebuilds install somewhere else and then uninstall them. |
