I'm sorry, I think I wasn't very good at describing the problem. |

Let's say there is a package foo. Foo is keyworded, so if I try |
19 |
building it on either machine, portage complains saying it's masked. |
20 |
|
21 |
Now I unkeyword foo on both machines by adding it to |
22 |
/etc/portage/package.keywords/foo.keywords. When I run emerge on both |
23 |
machines portage will no longer complain and will build the keyworded |
24 |
package as intended. All's well. |
25 |
|
26 |
However, on one machine, eix reports that I have unkeyworded the |
27 |
package foo by printing parens around the keyword marker ~. On the |
28 |
other machine, eix does not report it. That is, the package is being |
29 |
effectively unmasked for emerge, but eix is not reporting the |
30 |
unmasking to me. So that's why I think it's either an eix |
31 |
configuration issue, or when you mentioned profile, checked the eix |
32 |
use flags. So my question was "what could I be missing in eix?" but if |
33 |
I'm wrong and it's not an eix thing then I'll happily take any |
34 |
suggestions. |
