Can anyone tell me what this could mean???

livecd / # emerge xfsprogs
Calculating dependencies
!!! all ebuilds that could satisfy "xfsprogs" have been masked.
!!! possible candidates are:
- sys-fs/xfsprogs-1.3.13 (masked by: missing keyword)
- sys-fs/xfsprogs-2.3.9 (masked by: missing keyword)
- sys-fs/xfsprogs-2.6.0 (masked by: ~keyword)
- sys-fs/xfsprogs-2.6.3 (masked by: ~keyword)

!!! Error calculating dependencies. Please correct.

Thanks,
Roland

Note: It's a bit out of date - don't set ACCEPT_KEYWORDS on the command line! What tln said is the way to do it; for an explanation of that, see this post:
