1 Today I wanted to install nethack and found it is masked:
2
3 The following mask changes are necessary to proceed:
4 #required by nethack (argument)
5 # /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask:
6 # Tavis Ormandy <taviso@g.o> <taviso@g.o> (21 Mar 2006)
7 # masked pending unresolved security issues #125902
8 =games-roguelike/nethack-3.4.3-r1
9
10 Then I googled and view https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=125902#c82.
11
12 It turned out the bug has been existed for more than six years and is
13 related to gentoo's group game policy. So can I just manually install
14 nethack as a common user ?
