| Reason for mask | Description |
|---|---|
| ~arch keyword | The application is not tested sufficiently to be put in the stable branch. Wait a few days or weeks and try again. |
| -arch keyword or -* keyword | The application does not work on the target architecture. If this is not the case, then please file a bug. |
| missing keyword | The application has not yet been tested on the target architecture. Ask the architecture porting team to test the package or test it for them and report the findings on Gentoo's Bugzilla website. See /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords and Accepting a keyword for a single package. |
| package.mask | The package has been found corrupt, unstable or worse and has been deliberately marked as do-not-use. |
| profile | The package has been found not suitable for the current profile. The application might break the system if it is installed or is just not compatible with the profile currently in use. |
| license | The package's license is not compatible with the ACCEPT_LICENSE value. Permit its license or the right license group by setting it in /etc/portage/make.conf or in /etc/portage/package.license. |
