I get the following error when trying to [r]emerge courier-authlib:

Code:

!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "courier-authlib" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- net-libs/courier-authlib-0.58 (masked by: package.mask)
- net-libs/courier-authlib-0.59.2 (masked by: package.mask, ~x86 keyword)

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
refer to the Gentoo Handbook.


However, when I search package.mask, courier-authlib is not listed...anyone know what is going on here?

Have you checked both:

/etc/portage/package.mask
/usr/portage/profiles/package.mask

Cheers

Thanks Jon, that was it, I didn't know there was a /etc/portage/package.mask.

Great. The files in /etc/portage are for your local customizations - very useful.

Cheers
