7 Probably, yes. For example, the ghostscript dependancy is:
8
9 X? ( || ( (
10 x11-libs/libX11
11 x11-libs/libXt )
12 virtual/x11 ) )
13
14 So if you had libXt still installed, portage might decide that it also
15 wanted libX11, and result in the masked problem you see.
16
17 Probably the easiest way to fix this is get a list of all the ~x86 x11
18 packages you have installed, and remove them. Something like this
19 should do the trick:
20
21 # cd /var/db/pkg
22 # for x in `grep -l \~x86 x11-*/*/KEYWORDS` ; do
23 > echo =`dirname $x`
