 |
|
I was attempting to emerge xorg and received this error
| Code: |
#emerge --pretend xorg-x11
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies
!!! all ebuilds that could satisfy "xorg-x11" have been masked.
!!! possible candidates are:
- x11-base/xorg-x11-6.7.0 (masked by: ~keyword)
!!! Error calculating dependencies. Please correct.
|
I also ran this:
| Code: | | emerge --pretend x11-base/xorg-x11 |
this:
| Code: | | emerge --pretend =x11-base/xorg-x11-6.7.0 |
and this:
| Code: | | emerge --pretend =xorg-x11-6.7.0 |
All resulting in the same error.
Note: This was after I ran an emerge sync.
Thanks for the help.

try this
| Code: | | ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -p xorg-x11 |
"~" i believe it's for fully stable package. And "x86" depends on the processor (in my case it's for intel).

There are thousands of duplicates like this on the forums.
Please search
Or read the fine portage manual. |

Better don't do it and use /etc/portage/package.keywords instead. Otherwise you'll have to use "emerge -U" afterwards, which will kill your pets.
| Code: |
mkdir -p /etc/portage
echo "~x11-base/xorg-x11-6.7.0" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
|
then try again and if you're still getting errors like the first, add other packages similar to the command above to package.keywords. Search this forum, there are plenty of threads about it. |

| Thank you very much. Both ways worked but I will stick with the safer one. |
