I get all these dire warnings from the system and I don't know what I did wrong. I'm certainly not in the experimental class. I try to do the most standard, stable things. You may not have done anything wrong. How dire an emerge warning is is up to interpretation. One way I sometimes deal with an update that throws lots of warnings and requests to change masks or keywords or use flags is to look carefully at the list of packages that would be updated, and pick one, and just try to update that one. I even sometimes find it easier to just "emerge -1 package" (instead of -u) because that seems less likely to try to include updates not needed for the package you selected. Also - I don't think you ever said which (or at least how many) packages you already have in packages.keyword. Often, having one package in that file (especially if it is not for a single version) will want testing versions of dependencies, so you either have to add those, or not use the testing version of the first package. Portage asking for changes to USE flags is likely far less of an issue - sometimes packages are changed so that a dependency now requires a particular use flag setting which is not the default (or may be affected by some USE flag you have set (or unset) in make.conf.
