A lot of people say that doing that on command line is not a good idea.
If it is masked or keyworded, he needs to add it to the proper package.*
file.
My $.02 worth.

Hello.
Since my last portage update (like many other people), I got the error message
Calculating world dependencies
!!! Problems have been detected with your world file
!!! Please run emaint --check world
I run emaint --check world and it told me this :
'app-emulation/vmware-linux-tools' has no ebuilds available
Then, I do a emerge -s vmware-linux-tools :
* app-emulation/vmware-linux-tools [ Masked ]
Latest version available: 5.0.0
Latest version installed: 5.0.0
Size of downloaded files: 11,103 kB
Homepage: http://www.vmware.com/
Description: Guest-os tools for VMWare workstation
License: vmware
Then I thought "Oh yes, sure this stuff is not into the stable branch !"
(and I'm not "~x86" because I'm a Gentoo newbie)
I make also a emerge --info vmware-linux-tools to check but I saw this :
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86"
I don't understand then why it is masked...
I search on the Gentoo portage documentation and put
app-emulation/vmware-linux-tools
into the /etc/portage/package.unmask file
but after that, nothing changed :-(
I have two questions :
Why is it masked although ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" ?
How could I resolve my issue and make it unmasked for me ?
Thank you :-)

80GB hard drives.
2: Home built; Iwill KK266-R w/ AMD 1GHz CPU, 256MBs of ram and a 4GB drive.
3: Home built; Gigabyte GA-71XE4 w/ 800MHz CPU, 128MBs of ram and a 2.5GB
drive.
4: Compaq Proliant 6000 Server w/ Quad 200MHz CPUs, 128MBs of ram and a 4.3GB

All run Gentoo Linux, all run folding. #1 is my desktop, 2, 3, and 4 are set up as servers.
