[SOLVED]Portage message I do not understand

[kea0463]

I received this message whenever I emerge --sync

and uaDN @world, I'm posting here to see if I should

do something, because not sure, if i should or not

here is the message:

!!! The following installed packages are masked:
- sys-devel/automake-1.15::gentoo (masked by: package.mask)
/usr/portage/profiles/package.mask/funtoo-cautionary:
# Protect newest automake and autoconf

For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge
man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

that means you have package installed that is masked. remove it by emerge -C automake:1.15
