I was to be able to do an 'emerge -p' with a package that has one or more deps masked. then i can fix all blocks at the same time instead of one at a time

ie
emerge -av x11-drivers/ati-drivers -p

!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=x11-base/xorg-server-1.5.3-r7" have been masked.
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=app-admin/eselect-opengl-1.0.7" have been masked.
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=x11-libs/libXfont-1.4.0" have been masked.
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=x11-proto/randrproto-1.2.99.4" have been masked.
......

Currently i have to try to emerge, find and correct block, then try again, find and correct the new block, then try again, .....

i tried 'emerge -av x11-drivers/ati-drivers -p --keep-going' with no luck


thanks
Jeff

You might want to look into autounmask.

Hi, you need to add these lines inside /etc/portage/package.keywords
