1 Hi. I am in a situation where portage wants to install a package
2 which I have masked. Its wants to do this
3 [ebuild U #] x11-libs/gtk+-3.24.1:3::mv [3.22.30:3::gentoo]
4 but I want to keep the old one. Why is this happening and how can I
5 preventthe install of the newer gtk+ which breaks some accessibility
6 features?
