You're trying to use a ~arch gtk+ with an arch gail. The block message
shows that gail versions less than 1000 block, and you are trying to
emerge 1.22.3 because gail-1000 is keyworded ~arch. Add it
to /etc/portage/package.keywords and the block will go away.

This is one of the disadvantages of running a mixed arch/~arch system.

Okay from your first mail I got the intention you want to install gail.

Anyway Neil's recommendation should do the trick. gail-1000 is just a
dummy ebuild to make the transition from gtk+ with separate gail to
gtk+ with integrated gail easier.

Maybe you don't have to install gail at all? What depends on gail? I
heard that recent versions of gtk+ integrate gail functionality. So
for each package that depends on gail, you could see if a more recent
version of that package does not have the gail dependency.

Hmmm... good idea. I will try it!
On other hand. I like stable system. If I can I avoid the ~x86
packages, but sometimes I have to...

Thank you for yours suggestion.
