Try getting rid of space followed by ~amd64 and see how that works.

It is not looking for the ~amd64 at the end of the line.

The `package.unmask` file is used to unmask packages, not accept
keywords.

Evince is not masked in the gentoo repo, but the 44.1 version is
keyworded with the ~amd64 keyword.

This means that the line you put in package.unmask actually goes in
package.accept_keywords.

There are no spaces at the end of the line:

/etc/portage/package.unmask
=app-text/evince-44.1 ~amd64

You have put an accept_keywords entry in the unmask file. Unmask entries
contain only an atom, there should be no arch (~amd64).
