[gentoo-user] package removed from portage question

["Mark Knecht" <markknecht@gmail.com>]

Hi,
   Portage wants to downgrade MySQL on my PC. This appears to be due
to a revision being removed from portage:

lightning ~ # emerge -pvDuN world

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating world dependencies... done!
<SNIP>
[ebuild     UD] dev-db/mysql-4.0.27 [4.1.20] USE="berkdb perl ssl
-big-tables -debug -embedded -minimal -raid -srvdir -static" 10,895 kB

<SNIP>

lightning ~ # eix -I mysql
* dev-db/mysql
     Available versions:  !3.23.58-r1 4.0.25-r2 4.0.27 [M]4.1.21
[M]5.0.24-r1 [M]5.1.7_beta
     Installed:           4.1.20
     Homepage:            http://www.mysql.com/
     Description:         A fast, multi-threaded, multi-user SQL
database server.

   However, I don't want it changed right now as the other machines on
the network are still running 4.1.20 and I would like them to all stay
identical.

   At least for the short term how can I tell portage not to touch
MySQL? (package.provided maybe?)

Thanks,
Mark
