[ale] emerge help

Pre-coffee, so hopefully coherent-ish enough.


Edit /etc/portage/package.keywords and add the line
=sys-devel/gettext-0.18.1.1-r3 ~x86

Edit /etc/portage/package.mask and add the line
=sys-devel/gettext-0.18.1.1-r3


For "Use eselect news to read news items" enter at the prompt:
 eselect news read new
(Never know, it might actually be relevant to what you're doing.)

Then emerge sys-devel/gettext again
