Hi,

I have a lot of masked packages installed on my system. The packages are
installed but not unmasked. Is there an easy way to find those packages?

Dunno if this will get you every masked package, but at least should be
quite close; if you run

emerge -pv --emptytree world

you can check the packages that are being downgraded, quite probably the
reason for this downgrading will be that the installed version is a masked
one.

Just an idea.

See this

http://gentoo-wiki.com/Keywords
http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_Regenerate_package_keywords

Both tips can help you to find those packages.

Another way is

$ eix -uc|grep '[D]'.

How can you have a masked package installed but have not unmasked it?

To find all sorts of oddities with your portage config files, run:

eix-test-obsolete

You may have to emerge eix first to get it

By setting the ACCEPT_KEYWORDS flag in the command line when emerging?
Haven't done that for a while though, so I wouldn't know if
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS has been deprecated since?
