[gentoo-user] system wants to emerge unstable package

[syscon edm]

In: package.mask
...

net-misc/asterisk-20

current stable versions are;
asterisk-18.18.1

but : emerge -avq asterisk
wants to pull 'net-misc/asterisk-18.20.2" (which is marked as unstable, why?)

If you add the -t option to emerge, it should show what is pulling it
in.  Worth a try at least.  That would be 'emerge -atvq asterisk' and
check the output.

Hm..., it still wants to emerge unstable version:

emerge -atvq asterisk
[ebuild U ] net-misc/asterisk-18.20.2

emerge -atvq asterisk
[ebuild U ] net-misc/asterisk-18.20.2
$ emerge -pvt asterisk

After you change your asterisk package mask to:

=net-misc/asterisk-20.*

or,

=net-misc/asterisk:0/20

please show the output of

emerge --info | grep ACCEPT_KEYWORDS

grep asterisk -r /etc/portage

NOTE: On a stable amd64 arch, emerge will pull in the latest stable package.

Huh, that was it,
grep asterisk -r /etc/portage
/etc/portage/package.mask:>net-misc/asterisk-20
/etc/portage/package.accept_keywords:net-misc/asterisk ~amd64

Thank you!
