[gentoo-user] Upgrading portage

[econti]

Hi all,
finally my holidays are over and I made a portage upgrade.
Then: emerge -NDpvu world and I received this:

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

Calculating world dependencies /
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy 
">=media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20070616-r3" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your 
request:
- media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20080326 (masked by: ~amd64 keyword)
- media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20080206 (masked by: package.mask, ~amd64 
keyword)
/usr/portage/profiles/package.mask:
# Luca Barbato <lu_zero@gentoo.org> (26 Mar 2008)
# huge ffmpeg migration mask
# we leave intermediate version masked, unmasking 20080326 -yngwin

- media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20070616-r20 (masked by: ~amd64 keyword)
- media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20070616-r3 (masked by: ~amd64 keyword)

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
(dependency required by "media-video/vlc-0.9.0_beta2" [ebuild])



!!! Problem resolving dependencies for media-video/vlc
!!! Depgraph creation failed.

What does it mean exactly?

Ciao

What it says.  The versions of ffmpeg vlc needs are masked.  See MASKED 
PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook :)
