The >=sys-fs/udev-181 in /etc/portage/package.mask means that any udev version
equal to or greater than udev-181 is masked from the system. Therefore, the
latest version under 181 will be used (stable or unstable depending upon
/etc/portage/package.accept_keywords). You can see versions/slots easily by:
mingdao@workstation ~ $ eshowkw sys-fs/udev
Keywords for sys-fs/udev:
| | u |
| a a p s | n |
| l m h i m m p s p | u s | r
| p d a p a 6 i p c 3 a x | s l | e
| h 6 r p 6 8 p p 6 9 s r 8 | e o | p
| a 4 m a 4 k s c 4 0 h c 6 | d t | o
