bug in /usr/portage/media-video/realplayer-8-r7.ebuild, do `emerge sync` or fix it manually if you know how to deal with ebuilds.

Looks like an error in your /etc/portage/package.* files.

[curtis119]

OK. This should work. Edit the file /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask comment out the realplayer entries and then save the file. emerge sync should work now.[/code]

genone you posted while I was typing. I hate it when that happens. I think the package.mask file may be the cause of Arow_M problem. But you are the developer not me so...I accede.
