I am attempting to install springlobby following the wiki article on this site. it appears the rb-libtorrent dependency breaks a lot of stuff. any suggestions? I realize I could unmask 0.14 but if it breaks a lot of stuff I'm not sure it's a good idea...

here is the error:

Code: Select all

DarkComet kodiakmax # emerge -pv springlobby

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=net-libs/rb_libtorrent-0.14" have been masked.

2 possibilities:
  • unmask rb-libtorrent and find it out (you may need to unmask boost too, but nothing was broken for me)
  • install springlobby with USE="disable-torrent"
