Is it just me?

gnome-base/gnome-2.10.1 is marked as stable, but a number of its dependencies are keyword masked. This causes a bit of a problem if I try to "emerge -pDuv world"
I'm perfectly happy to stick with the current Gnome (2.10-r1) -- I'm not champing at the bit for 2.10.1. I'd prefer it if the meta-package would stay keyword masked until all its dependencies are also unmasked.

I don't mind setting a keyword mask for a package I really want, but I don't want to have to unmask dozens of dependencies just to get emerge world to work, particularly if the package that triggers the problem is itself marked as "stable".

do you have gnome packages in your PORTAGE_OVERLAY? I've had that problem too with gentopia-portage...

Good call.

I still had old ebuilds of current packages that had changed hanging around in my overlay.
