can't unmask gaim-cvs

Ok, I've tried everything I can think of... I'm probably just overlooking something obvious, so I'll ask for help...
When I emerge -s gaim-cvs I get:
* net-im/gaim-cvs [ Masked ]
Latest version available: 0.60-r2
Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ]
Homepage: http://gaim.sourceforge.net/
Description: GTK Instant Messenger client - CVS ebuild.

I have poured over, searched, and grepped package.mask in /usr/portage/profiles, and can't find it's entry in there.

Is there another place I should be looking? How can I override the mask?
Thanks!

In your /etc/make.conf make sure the the line : ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" is uncomment you should be able to emerge gaim-cvs.

Becarefull when you uncomment this because you will emerge unstable package ...

good luck

You also ought to be able to do a one-time emerge of the file by specifically emerging the ebuild as follows.

emerge /usr/portage/net-im/gaim-cvs/gaim-cvs-0.60-r2.ebuild
