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 "=3Ddev-db/mysql-5.0*" have been maske= d. !!! 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. --=20 A --=20 gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
