16 Ha (not laughing at you)-- this is a silly mistake that I know is silly
17 because I've made it myself until I figured out the trick.
18
19 Put both unmasks on the same line.
20
21 The second line is overriding the first (masks, like keywords and USE
22 flags) are not cumulative over subsequent entries.
23
24 If you do it like this
25
26 > app-office/openoffice -*
27 > app-office/openoffice ~amd64
28
29 The first line unmasks just the -*, then the second line remasks
30 everything and unmasks amd64.
31
32 But if you do it like this
33
34 > app-office/openoffice -* ~amd64
35
36 both masks will be unmasked.
37
38 Hope this helps.
