/etc/portage/package.unmask only works for things that are only masked in package.mask, often these packages are also masked with KEYWORDS="~x86 ..." or even KEYWORDS="-*". To unmask these you have to use either the copy-to-overlay method or apply a patch to your portage (see bug 13616).

Doesn't ...

Anyone know the procedure to get this to work?!

I don't know what steps to take to get it into the kernel, and then once it is in there, what device do I use the iomegaware tools on?

Thanks,

I just did an install of Gentoo 1.2 from scratch and came looking for a solution to this same problem.

After reading all of the notes I found the answer.

Rename your /etc/._cfg0000_login.defs file to /etc/login.defs

Yeah it is, but what's the fix?!

Oh well, anyone know any information about what the broken pipe error means?

If it is your system and not the package, then it's my system also.

I'm having the same problem and my error message is the following:

make[2]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/aspell-0.33.7.1-r1/work/aspell-.33.7.1/data'
cd ../; bd=`pwd`; cd scowl/final; \
cat english-*.10 english-*.20 english-*.35 english-*.50 \
english-*.60 english-*.65 \
special-*.35 ...

I think this is a wonderful idea, I have a situation like that right now where a dependency doesn't compile, and no one I bump into on IRC has an answer or a suggestion...
