But why was autounmask=y complaining but not autounmask=n?
The dependency of the virtual was missing both times so shouldn't emerge
spit some error out both times?

Because autounmask=n assumes you don't want to upgrade anything that is
masked so it didn't suggest it.
But there was a broken dependency, not just something that could be
upgraded. autounmask=y now, after setting the virtual to -~amd64 too, is
quiet and doesn't tells me to unmask anything.
Still think that emerge should have thrown an error both times, but if
it is ok for anyone here that it doesn't then it is ok for me too ;-)
Well, it could be that I'm reading the error incorrectly too. Ask
people how much fun it is for me to figure out what the heck portage is
puking on my keyboard. I have had Alan explain it to me, what he says
makes sense but it just goes right over my head. I have learned that
sometimes portage pukes backward tho. I call that eating but portage
disagrees with me. ;-) One could read a lot into that couldn't they?
It's pretty deep. lol
Ain't life confusing?
Yes, yes it is!
Yep, portage confuses me a lot. This is life.
