No, that's not what it means. Regards mks -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - dev-db/mysql-5.0.26-r1 (masked by: package.mask) You need to mask the virtual package that's depending on that, not the mysql package itself. $ sudo sed -i -e 's,dev-db/mysql,virtual/mysql,g' /etc/portage/package.mask Thanks, Ryan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

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 | !!!

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.

After the upgrade amavisd-new and postfix didn't work anymore. I had to re-emerge DBD-mysql and postfix to get things running again. It's propably a good idea to check which packages depend on mysql beforehand. Regards mks -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
