Nothing - apart from not being to *any* updates:

# emerge -uDtav world

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

Calculating world dependencies |
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "=dev-db/mysql-5.0*" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your
request:
- dev-db/mysql-5.0.26-r1 (masked by: package.mask)


For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page
or
refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
(dependency required by "virtual/mysql-5.0" [ebuild])



!!! Problem resolving dependencies for dev-db/mysql
!!! Depgraph creation failed.





Nice.
