 Posted: Sun Feb 11, 2007 7:06 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] Package is Pending Removal |
 |
|
| Code: | !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "s3switch" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- sys-apps/s3switch-19990826 (masked by: package.mask)
# Diego Pettenò <flameeyes@gentoo.org> (03 Feb 2007)
# Pending removal March 3rd, no upstream, old package
# requires specific hardware. |
I use the s3switch, but it is being removed. What can I do?

Move it to an overlay before it leaves the tree altogether and then unmask it by adding it to /etc/portage/package.unmask.
