!About Masked packages
Packages can be flagged as masked for a number of reasons. Mostly they are masked because they might break something, or they WILL break something. These tend to be masked in /usr/portage/profiles/packages.mask, and you can either forcibly install the package (see later), or unmask the package by commenting out the line. Note that this file is rebuilt everytime you emerge sync. There is rumour of support for a packages.unmask file, but this doesn't seem to work (16 Jun 2003)
