What is the command you're using to emerge the package? |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
The error you're getting suggests that you tried something like |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
emerge fadd2-2.0-r7 |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
which is incorrect syntax (as the error says). |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
If you, for some reason, need to emerge a specific version of a package, |
| 24 |
the correct syntax is |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
emerge =cate-gory/package.name-and.revision |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
In this case, it would be |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
emerge =media-libs/faad2-2.0-r7 |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
but normally you shouldn't need to do this. Is the package masked for |
| 33 |
your arch? or marked unstable for your arch, and you're running stable? |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Unmask the unstable version in /etc/portage/package.keywords, or unmask |
| 36 |
a masked version in /etc/portage/package.unmask (and possibly |
| 37 |
/etc/portage/package.keywords as well, if it's both hard masked and soft |
| 38 |
masked/unstable). |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
The only time one usually needs to specify a particular version is if |
| 41 |
your arch has a later version that you for some reason can't use, and |
| 42 |
really need the earlier version (i.e., unmasking unstable was to give |
| 43 |
you 2.0.1, and you really had to have 2.0-r7, because that's the only |
| 44 |
version that some other program you need faad for would accept). |
