Emerging Sylpheed-Claws

Hi everybody,

I wanted to emerge sylpheed claws and everything was fine. But it installed the version 0.9.0. As I saw on the hompage version 0.9.7 is already available... So I made a
emerge sync
but it couldn`t find a newer version. so I changed the Accept_Keywords to x86 instead of ~x86, but without any effect. How do I get the newest version?

reg,
g.

Thanks, but now I get this error message:

all ebuilds that could satisfy ">=sys-devel/gettext-0.12" have been masked.
!!! (dependency required by "net-mail/sylpheed-claws-0.9.7" [ebuild])

What should I do now??

regards,

G.

Thanks, worked now.

But why isn`t the program able to show me the latest version when I do a

emerge -s sylpheed ???

If I do a emerge sync it takes a downloads the newest tree? Or am I wrong?
How can I update the tree that it shows me REALLY the latest version when I do a

emerge -s sylpheed ???
