Thx Fitzcarraldo,

I'll ask the testing team to confirm this and get it fixed.

[E.M.G.]

had to re-install due to a pam issue and now when I try to emerge this I get the following error:

!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "kde-misc/kio-sysinfo" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- kde-misc/kio-sysinfo-3.5.5 (masked by: corruption)

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


I have copied the ebuild to /usr/local/portage/kde-misc/kio-sysinfo and rebuilt the manifest. I also added the line to my make.conf and copied the src.rpm to /usr/portage/distfiles but I'm still getting this error ...any ideas where to go from here? Thanks all!!

did you emerge --sync && layman -S first?

[E.M.G.]

yes I sync'ed portage and layman ... I finally figured it out, by accident, when I was rebuilding the manifest using the path /usr/local/portage/ ....... it wasn't building correctly ... when I went right to the directory with the ebuild in it and opened a konsole and built the manifest it worked ... so I now have it working again ...but I don't know why it wouldn't build correctly using the path ... I triple checked the path and even used cut and paste from konquerors address bar ... still didn't build the manifest correctly .... this is a first for me that an absolute path would not work so thats why I said fixed by "accident" ... lol anyway again SOLVED and thanks for the reply ...
