Masked means 'package.mask entry' in gentoo- user speak. Masked in package.mask means 'unfit for human consumption'. Masked by unstable keyword means exactly that: the package is marked as unstable at the moment. One of your many packages installed depends on an unstable package. If you only have stable packages installed, you just hit a bug. But if you have unstable packages installed, this happens all the time. Add jpeg7 and -compat to your package.keywords file and go on. Another reason, why mixing trees is a bad idea...

Er, you need this package on your system. A lot of software depends on it. It's not optional.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Masked package needs itsself ?
Sorry, I'm not following what you're trying to say :P jpeg-7 is masked, Without it any update process stops with this failure. jpeg-7 needs itsself to update jpeg-7 (according the output I posted). If I install it, many packaged needs to rebuild, for which I have not the time. When I want to prevent that, I am urged to install another masked package. Why needs a non masked system a masked packed and build against it (incorporate its masked character) OR needs a compatibility package which also is masked to not to build (directly) against the other masked package? Or in more peotic words: To live on, take this poison. If you dont want to get poisoned take the other poison.

Actually, according to the output you posted, something depends on jpeg-7. The output you posted didn't actually indicate that jpeg-7 depends on itself. There should have been a list below that output of what actually does depend on =media-libs/jpeg-7, if that helps at all. Chris Reffett

It is not that bad (masked qt-3 and kde3 was another nice thing that cost some time - well, system is qt3/kde3 free now ...) or very bad, depending on your system ;)

Your output tells that something depends on it or that you're explicitly trying to emerge it. If I install it, many packaged needs to rebuild, for which I have not the time. Which is why I recommended installing media-libs/jpeg-compat :P When I want to prevent that, I am urged to install another masked package. That one is also not masked. Just keyworded ~arch.

Since jpeg-7 is not masked, you can mask it yourself. Try this: =media-libs/jpeg-7 in /etc/portage/packages.mask and see if it helps. Also, at this point, I would be interested in seeing the output of: equery depends media-libs/jpeg to see what is pulling-in jpeg-7.
