emerge on gentoo not working

hi,

i'm trying to install pam/kerberos on ppc64 gentoo:

Code:

$ emerge pam_krb5
Calculating dependencies
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "pam_krb5" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- sys-auth/pam_krb5-20030601 (masked by: missing keyword)
- sys-auth/pam_krb5-1.0-r1 (masked by: missing keyword)
- sys-auth/pam_krb5-20030601-r1 (masked by: missing keyword)
- sys-auth/pam_krb5-1.0 (masked by: missing keyword)

So, following the docs, i added te following into my /etc/portage/package.keywords:

Code:

sys-auth/pam_krb5 ~ppc64

But this does not help.

Any ideas?

After putting that in package.keywords, have you tried

Code:

emerge =sys-auth/pam_krb5-1.0

?

replace the version number with the one of your choice.

It't still the same:

Code:

$ emerge =sys-auth/pam_krb5-1.0
Calculating dependencies
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "=sys-auth/pam_krb5-1.0" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- sys-auth/pam_krb5-1.0 (masked by: missing keyword)

According to Gentoo Packages here

pam_krb5 is not available for ppc64

I was confused ... after having read the docs again, i learned that the line

Code:

sys-auth/pam_krb5 ~ppc64

says to emerge to use the ~ppc64 branch (prefer it to the stable ppc64) if it's available.

I thought, it forces emerge to behave, like if the package had the ~ppc64 keyword.

Hope, I'm not wrong again.
