Ok, I don't understand this...

Why is it that when I comment out the package.mask entries for udev:

#>=sys-fs/udev-181
#>=virtual/udev-181

emerge -pvuND world shows updates to udev-197, with no mention of udev-200, but...

when I uncomment them:

>=sys-fs/udev-181
>=virtual/udev-181

emerge -pvuDN world shows updates to BOTH virtual/udev-197-r2 *and* udev-200, with strange Blockers referencing udev-186???

My reading is: there are some packages either in your tree or being pulled in that require a later version of udev. So even if you mask udev-197, it's still being pulled in by something else. You have to uninstall / mask those package versions as well. How they got there or what they are, I don't know. If you're unlucky that might just be because the portage tree was in the middle of syncing...

As for 186, emerge is hilariously tripping all over itself here. sys-fs/udev is being upgraded, but it requires udev-init-scripts to be installed. And udev-init-scripts conflicts with older versions of udev which is installed, so...

Try increasing the backtrack to see if emerge can resolve it automatically. --backtrack=30. If it can't, the canon advice would be to manually uninstall (emerge -C --deselect=n) the older version before installing the newer one.
