You want "app-arch/xz-utils **" in package.keywords. It is blocked by lzma, |
| 13 |
but that entry does at least get the emerge past the mask stage: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
nazgul xz-utils # echo "app-arch/xz-utils ~*" > |
| 16 |
/etc/portage/package.keywords/temp |
| 17 |
nazgul xz-utils # emerge -av1 xz-utils |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
These are the packages that would be merged, in order: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Calculating dependencies... done! |

!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "app-arch/xz-utils" have been masked. |
| 24 |
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: |
| 25 |
- app-arch/xz-utils-9999 (masked by: missing keyword) |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge |
| 28 |
man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook. |
