Can anyone fill me in on this file.  I emerge'd fluxbox-0.9.3 and I want
it to get ignored when I 'emerge -vu --deep world'.

I see in /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask there is a line:

# new fluxbox dev series. no guarentees.
>=x11-wm/fluxbox-0.9.0

So, based on something I read in the forums, I created
/etc/portage/package.unmask and I made it look like this:

>=x11-wm/fluxbox-0.9.3

I then did an 'emerge -vu --deep world' before and after an 'emerge
sync' and it still wants to upgrade fluxbox.

Also, how can you get a package ignored if it isn't specifically masked
by package.mask?

That is, I emerge'd pan-0.14.0 and everytime I do an emerge world it
wants to go back to pan-0.13.4.  I can't find pan anywhere in
/usr/portage/profiles/package.mask

Thanks,
