24 Oh, I'm sorry-- I should have mentioned that I'm using the live CVS
25 ebuild from the Krusader site, which has different USE flags:
26
27 emerge -pv krusader-cvs
28
29 Calculating dependencies ...done!
30 [ebuild R ] kde-misc/krusader-cvs-1-r4 USE="javascript konqueror
31 -arts -debug -xinerama" 0 kB [1]
32
33 Total size of downloads: 0 kB
34 Portage overlays:
35 [1] /usr/local/portage
36
37 ... but I found the problem. There was an old setting in
38 /etc/portage/package.mask that needed to be cleared out (I had masked >=
39 some 3.4 version of kioslaves, for reasons that I assume were good at
40 the time, but I totally forgot that I had ever done it, so I certainly
41 don't remember why I had done it). Removing that enabled the profile
42 package.mask to work normally once I removed the bogus and unnecessary
43 /etc/portage/package.unmask settings.
44
45 So that's fine then, sorry for the noise and thanks for the
46 encouragement to get to the bottom of what I had done to screw things up
47 (since I knew it had to be me, given that Portage really is unlikely to
48 have gone so schizo without anyone noticing *but* me :-) ).
49
50 We now return you to your regularly scheduled thread (with a possible
51 advisory to Ian to check his little-used /etc/portage files; maybe
52 there's a setting that you forgot you put there, as well :-) ).
