17 You probably didn't execute the previous command correctly. If I run
18 "eix dir2ogg" that's the output:
19
20 * media-sound/dir2ogg
21 Available versions: 0.8 ~0.9.1 ~0.9.2
22 Installed: none
23 Homepage: http://badcomputer.org/linux/dir2ogg/
24 Description: Converts MP3, M4A, and WAV files to OGG format.
25
26 This means that 0.9.1 and 0.9.2 are masked by ~.
27 The only really correct way to emerge these packages is to add them to
28 package.keywords, as explained in the handbook.

36 Go here and have a (small) read.
37 You'll find that probably you're doing something wrong on your side.
