jpeg-7 is masked, Without it any update process stops with this
failure. jpeg-7 needs itsself to update jpeg-7 (according the output
I posted).
If I install it, many packaged needs to rebuild, for which I 
have not the time.
When I want to prevent that, I am urged to install another masked
package.

Why needs a "non masked" system a masked packed and build against
it (incorporate its masked character) OR needs a compatibility 
package which also is masked to not to build (directly) against
the other masked package?

Or in more peotic words:
To live on, take this poison. If you dont want to get poisoned
take the other poison.
