virtual/mysql is a new-style virtual which was added to the tree a couple of days ago [1]. New style means it's a separate ebuild in /usr/portage/virtual/mysql rather than a PROVIDE variable in the ebuilds that provide it. The mythtv ebuilds now depend on the virtual. > I tried adding virtual/mysql to portage.keywords but > that's not allow. Huh? You mean package.keywords?

Or you need to sync? > dragonfly ~ # eix -I | grep virtual [SNIP] Since the virtual wasn't added to the tree until a couple of days ago it isn't installed on your system yet.
