Something is royally messed up. I've created the /etc/portage/package.unmask . I put media-sound/alsa-driver and all the other alsa stuff a media-sound/alsa-driver or whatever the package is in the file. The format was media-sound/alsa-driver or media-libs/alsa-lib. I did this for driver, lib, tools, utils. Supposedly this should unmask the correct?
I've merged all the alsa-1.0 ebuilds using ACCEPT_KEYWORDS at ~x86. Right now emerge -UD chokes with an error about all ebuilds that satisfy alsa-libs are masked and the dependency is needed by alsa-utils and alsamixergui has a depend/depend situation. >>> --upgradeonly implies --update... adding --update to options. These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies \ !!! all ebuilds that could satisfy ">=media-libs/alsa-lib-1.0.0_rc2" have been masked. !!! (dependency required by "media-sound/alsa-utils-1.0.0_rc2" [ebuild]) !!! Problem with ebuild media-sound/alsamixergui-0.9.0.1.2-r3 !!! Possibly a DEPEND/*DEPEND problem. !!! Depgraph creation failed. Well alsamixergui shows an R if I try to merge it alone and it merges fine - no complaints about anything. How do I tell emerge to shutup about this? I guess I could take the ~x86 out of all the ebuilds but the next rc would cause this problem again. Also I notice this ebuild is slotted for 0.9, not 1.0.
