Thanks a lot

Sabayon Wiki warns you:
The Portage package manager is not the default package manager of Sabayon. It should only be used by advanced users who understand the Portage system and understand what flags can do to a system. If you insist on using Portage and you FUBAR your Sabayon Linux installation, you are on your own. This is your big warning, so pay attention to it.

If you doesn't want to listen to the Sabayon Wiki, then you should follow the output on your screen:

For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

man emerge:

Code: Select all

MASKED PACKAGES
       NOTE: Please use caution when using development packages.  Problems and
       bugs resulting from misusing masked packages drains Gentoo developer
       time.  Please be sure you are capable of handling any problems that may
       ensue.

       Masks in portage have many uses: they allow a testing period where the
       packages can be used in live machines; they prevent the use of a pack‐
       age when it will fail; and they mask existing packages that are broken
       or could pose a security risk.  Read below to find out how to unmask in
       various cases.  Also note that if you give emerge an ebuild, then all
       forms of masking will be ignored and emerge will attempt to emerge the
       package.

       backtracking
              When packages are masked for backtracking, it means that the
              dependency resolver has temporarily masked them in order to
              avoid dependency conflicts and/or unsatisfied dependencies. This
              type of mask is typically accompanied by a message about a
              missed package update which has been skipped in order to avoid
              dependency conflicts and/or unsatisfied dependencies.

       package.mask
              The package.mask file primarily blocks the use of packages that
              cause problems or are known to have issues on different systems.
              It resides in /usr/portage/profiles.

       CHOST  Use the ACCEPT_CHOSTS variable in make.conf(5) to control CHOST
              acceptance.

       EAPI   The EAPI variable in an ebuild(5) file is used to mask packages
              that are not supported by the current version of portage. Pack‐
              ages masked by EAPI can only be installed after portage has been
              upgraded.

       KEYWORDS
              The KEYWORDS variable in an ebuild file is also used for masking
              a package still in testing.  There are architecture-specific
              keywords for each package that let portage know which systems
              are compatible with the package.  Packages which compile on an
              architecture, but have not been proven to be "stable", are
              masked with a tilde (~) in front of the architecture name.
              emerge examines the ACCEPT_KEYWORDS environment variable to
              allow or disallow the emerging of a package masked by KEYWORDS.
              To inform emerge that it should build these 'testing' versions
              of packages, you should update your /etc/portage/pack‐
              age.accept_keywords file to list the packages you want the
              ´testing´ version.  See portage(5) for more information.
       LICENSE
              The LICENSE variable in an ebuild file can be used to mask pack‐
              ages based on licensing restrictions. emerge examines the
              ACCEPT_LICENSE environment variable to allow or disallow the
              emerging of a package masked by LICENSE. See make.conf(5) for
              information about ACCEPT_LICENSE, and see portage(5) for infor‐
              mation about /etc/portage/package.license.

       PROPERTIES
              The PROPERTIES variable in an ebuild file can be used to mask
              packages based on properties restrictions. emerge examines the
              ACCEPT_PROPERTIES environment variable to allow or disallow the
              emerging of a package masked by PROPERTIES. See make.conf(5) for
              information about ACCEPT_PROPERTIES, and see portage(5) for
              information about /etc/portage/package.properties. Use the
              --accept-properties option to temporarily override ACCEPT_PROP‐
              ERTIES.

Thnaks i know it . But what package-manager should i use stead of portage? Everwhere in the wiki an the internet you see in Package installation the way emerge package name. What is the official way i couldn't found. It equo the better way?

[svantoviit]

Sabayon's package manager is Entropy,
it has a command line client - equo
and a graphical user interface called Rigo.

If it's the first time you use Entropy, check this: Fresh Install - What to do?
