13 That's correct. It is masked pending removal along with all other
14 gnome 1.x packages:
15
16 /home/rjf > emerge --oneshot -v ymessenger
17 Calculating dependencies
18 !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "ymessenger" have been masked.
19 !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
20 - net-im/ymessenger-1.0.4.1 (masked by: package.mask, missing keyword)
21 # Saleem Abdulrasool <compnerd@g.o> (16 Nov 2006)
22 # GNOME 1.x Removal Mask (15 Dec 2006)
23
24 - net-im/ymessenger-1.0.4.1-r1 (masked by: package.mask, missing keyword)
25 - net-im/ymessenger-1.0.6.1 (masked by: package.mask)
26
27 For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
28 refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

33 The reasons for p.masked stuff is listed as comments above the masking
34 in /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask.
