This won't work. An atom with a version prefix must have a version number. |

You are looking in the wrong place. I would suggest that you first read all |
| 21 |
the portage man pages: |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
man emerge |
| 24 |
man 5 make.conf |
| 25 |
man 5 portage |
| 26 |
man 5 ebuild |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
It's a lot of stuff but it's all necessary. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Now look at your original error and see what is there instead of what you |
| 31 |
think might be there. It clearly says that the package is hard masked, and |
| 32 |
that it is package.mask that is doing it. If you look in that file, you see: |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
nazgul ~ # grep spca /var/portage/profiles/package.mask |
| 35 |
# Sorting out media-video/{spca5xx,gspca{,v1}} bug 159176 |
| 36 |
media-video/spca5xx |
| 37 |
media-video/gspca |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
You can fiddle with package.keywords for the next century, it won't make a |
| 40 |
difference. You need to unmask these packages with entries |
| 41 |
in /etc/portage/package.unmask |
