Hi,
I can't emerge synaptics because they are masked
I've tried to do echo "x11-misc/synaptics ~amd64" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords , but it doesn't work, if I try to emerge I have:
Code:

Calculating dependencies
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "synaptics" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- x11-misc/synaptics-0.14.3 (masked by: ~amd64 keyword)
- x11-misc/synaptics-0.14.2 (masked by: ~amd64 keyword)
- x11-misc/synaptics-0.14.1 (masked by: ~amd64 keyword)

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
section 2.2 "Software Availability" in the Gentoo Handboo

What can I do?
Thanks

Thanks for your reply Angel.
I've just solved, I've cleaned the portage files and put in package.keyword this line only:
Code:
x11-misc/synaptics-0.14.3

Now it works!
