It looks like your system wants to emerge xfce-extras-4.2.3.2 instead of xfce-extras-4.4.0-r1. If you put the line: xfce-base/xfce4-extras in your /etc/portage/package.keywords file, that should do the trick as far as unmasking xfce4-extras-4.4. However, you'll still need to put the dependencies for xfce4-extras in the package.keywords file. As far as I can tell, these are: xfce-extra/xfce4-mount xfce-extra/xfce4-dict xfce-extra/xfce4-taskmanager xfce-extra/xfce4-screenshooter xfce-extra/xfce4-quicklauncher xfce-extra/xfce4-xkb xfce-extra/xfce4-datetime xfce-extra/xfce4-notes xfce-extra/xfce4-fsguard xfce-extra/xfce4-systemload xfce-extra/xfce4-netload xfce-extra/xfce4-cpugraph xfce-extra/xfce4-timer xfce-extra/xfce4-clipman xfce-extra/xfce4-weather What kind of dependency issues you might run into with these, I don't know; I haven't actually installed the packages. Good luck. Let us know how it turns out. Doug -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
