1 The next section of the response to my attempt to update portage is a long list of packages, each terminated with a "(masked by: something or other)".
2
3 What does that tell me. If it's masked, it shouldn't be available, right? But, I've got it:
4
5 - virtual/perl-parent-0.234.0-r1::gentoo (masked by: package.mask)
6
7 ls virtual/perl-parent/perl-parent-0.234.0-r1.ebuild
8 virtual/perl-parent/perl-parent-0.234.0-r1.ebuild
9
10 Can I get rid of it? Is perl-parent always masked?
