Grub masked?

[mark4]

tech ~ # emerge grub
Calculating dependencies... done!
Dependency resolution took 0.78 s (backtrack: 0/20).


!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "grub" have been masked.


Either I did something wrong or the grub developers earned a masking?

Fixed typo in the topic subject. -- Banana

You did something wrong. Specifically, you did not follow Guidelines item #4. Portage should have printed more output beyond what you showed, and I suspect that output would help us address your problem. Also, you should show us at least the timestamp of the tree, if not the output of emerge --info.

I don't see any obvious signs of a mask in my copy of the tree. What is the output of grep -rw grub /etc/portage/package.*?
