As I know (very little) about masked packages is that they don't show up in the upgrade list (just because they're masked...), or at least I thought so!
Some days ago, during an upgrade with Sulfur (the GUI) it happened that libgweather-9999 package showed up in the ugrade list; after a quick consultation in the irc channel thay suggested me to try with equo (the TUI) and, strangely, this package didn't show up, so I could execute the upgrade flawlessly.
Today this package has come up again! but this time it's shown either in Sulfur and in equo, i'll paste here the terminal output:

What should I do? honestly I wouldn't like that much installing a masked package, even worse wether this is a dependency of a gnome package (I'm using kde but i have a few gnome packages..)
Could this be a bug?
By the way, doing an equo search libgweather that's what it shows up:
- Code: Select all
# equo search gweather
